Reply to "new steering wheel and horn button"

Thank you for all the nice comments, I agree it is a work of art and makes a huge improvement.

 I bought the entire wheel, adapter and horn button with home made Porsche crest button from James (Jaime) from his classified listing here on SOC for $375.00 all in shipping included. I thought it was a very reasonable price. 

   I need help now getting the horn to work. Alan maybe or someone else with infinite knowledge can give me some direction. My old wheel and adapter had the horn setup in a one wire system. The wheel adapter had a copper ring in the base that was isolated from the rest of the adapter with a wire going to the horn button. The copper ring was in contact with copper half round fingers on the top of the steering column and this is the 12 volt power.  The outside of the horn button was the ground via the wheel, adapter and steering shaft. When the horn button was depresses the circuit complete and the horn blew. The new adapter doesn't have the copper 12v pickup ring but the adapter does come in contact with the 12v contact fingers on the steering column and immediately completes the circuit to the ground which is the steering shaft and horn blows non stop soon as the adapter is in place. For now I have the horn wire disconnected. The new horn button has two wires instead of one. How is the new horn supposed to be hooked up?  how do i pick up the 12 v signal without using the copper contact system? Does what I described make sense to anyone? Thanks in advance. Diagrams with your descriptions appreciated.
