Default 62 Bonneville horn contact ring

I'm missing the brass horn ring and wire that attaches to the upper column bearing on my dad's recently acquired '62 Bonneville. The bearing is there but the metal ring/wire must have been lost for some reason. Is it possible to replace this ring? If so, what would be the compatible years to look for? Thanks.

Assuming I can locate it (seems likely) you can have it for the cost of shipping. I have lots of extra column parts, just let me know if you need anything else.

Thanks for getting that part, Jeremy. I've got it in and the horn working. Just had to make a spring-loaded contact/insulator for the steering wheel between the horn ring and bearing/contact since the previous owner must have tossed those parts.

Happy to help and glad you got it working. I better check if mine has that contact installed before I torque the wheel down fully.
