Don't know about a '76 specifically, however that sounds like a DPO'ism.  On 
my '80 there is no horn button (the wheel has a plate in the center with the 
word "Triumph").  The horn is sounded by pushing the turn signal level 
toward the steering column (not forward or backward).  If you really have a 
horm button perhaps the DPO replaced a broken turn signal switch with a 
later model and re-wired the horn along with it, perhaps because the wire 
was in a modular switch.

Just my two pence.
