[Roadsters] Stuck horn button

[Gary and Cindy Ault]

On the early cars, the horn button is held in place by a spring clip.  There 
is an indentation at the joint between the button and the hub at which one 
prys -- gently -- to pop the button off.

Late cars twist to remove.

You can disable the horn by pulling the lead from the horn button at the 
terminal on the horn relay.

(Also SRL311-00428, the only seriously foolish thing I have ever done on 
purpose.  Should have stuck with the just the '66.)
