Brass ring is on the steering wheel and the plunger is on the steering column attached to the vehicle. Just be careful when you pull the steering wheel that your nose is out of the way.

The plunger rides on the brass ring for electrical contact for the horn to work. What happens is the plunger wears down and no longer fully contacts the brass ing. By shimming the brass ring with washers you may close the gap to the plunger for a while before another plunger/ring is probably needed.
