    Question about M Tech 2 Steering Wheel

    Hi guys,

    I just bought an M Tech 2 steering wheel.
    It is second hand and overall condiiton is quite decent. No deep scratches.
    One complaint though, the center part (horn) feels quite loose. When I pressed the horn, it didnt give me a positive kick back. Like a weak spring.
    Upon inspection, I found out that there is a curved metal plate, which looks like it's made out of brass. Please see attached pictures.
    Anyone know what kinda metal this bit is? I think this metal is no longer give the spring effect to the horn button. If I was to make a custom piece to replace the old one using the same metal, would this work?

    Thanks

    No e30s, again :(
    that is not a spring to give resistance, that is the contact for the horn circuit to ground, completing the circuit. you might just be missing a spring completely if one was not in there
    No e30s again.

    There are no springs when I took it apart. Anyone have pics of the springs? I might need to modify it a bit
