I think this is what I ended up using:

Do you have a link as to where you go those washers?

Just one. It serves as an isolator.

Do you remember where you got them from? I've looked online, but that size I can't locate.

Horns are working! I ended up getting that rubber isolator from SOR. I had to cut it down and then glue it on, but they are now working properly. I was under the impression that when you push the horn button that the center of the button would make contact. But, after watching a youtube video of another person bringing one back to life I realized that it's actually the outer edges that need to make contact in order to close the circuit. It all made sense after that...lol!

Alright, since my last post I've done a few things. I had the soft top frame sand blasted and I rattle can painted it. My local auto paint store is pretty good with color matching. I also replaced the worn out weatherstripping around the soft top doors with some new rubber from SOR. I then replaced the spark plugs and wires with some Toyota OEM parts. Here are some pics taken today.

Love everything about it. Nice job.

If it were mine, I would hunt down a semi crusty bezel and some Koito headlamps instead of the racer lights.

Everything is so cool and original looking except those.

I agree with you on both. If anyone has a crusty bezel lying around hit me up! As for the Koito lamps I tried to find the upgrade kits, but they've been out of stock so I went with these. Hopefully I can score a set from someone.

Did you check with @CruiserTrash for a light kit?

Your tires on the green one look good. What kind are they, where did you get them, and what size are they?

Was going to say so much good until those lights, lol. Glad they’re only temporary. The kioto kits seem to be available at several sources but I haven’t tried to actually buy one (mine came from cruiserteq a couple years ago and is still sitting in my storage).

They were on it when I got it. I'll check the size of them later when I get home.

It seems they're sold out at the moment. I've been looking, but not much luck thus far.

I forgot I bought a set of the Kioto light kit awhile back...they were buried in my garage. They are now installed.

He starts working on the horn around the 4:35 mark of that video.

Looks like the new shoes could use a new street to walk on Craig!
