kinda confused on what you got, is it chrome (67-70) or dark and padded (71/71)?

my dad and i just took my 69 horn ring off and broke the tabs behind it keeping it on. you have to turn the ring to the left, before you pull it off. my dad and i didnt, and broke the tabs. there will be a big spring behind it, and a small horn spring with two brass points. be carefull not to loose this.

in my 71 style horn button pad, there are two (maybe 3, not sure) screws to unscrew.

the original horn is on my 68 cs and the other button is from a 68 ranger.
