You may be correct,  I have never owned a Series 1 109" but have owned several 
Series 2 and several 80" and an 86".  When I was looking for a replacement of my horn 
push (headlamp dip) for one of my 80" people kept telling me it was the same as used 
on an MG but no one could ever produce one.

What I do know (as I said) is that the Series II does not have a static tube in the 
steering column and that the required "bracket" for the horn push on the series II, is 
not the horn push (dip switch) being replicated by Holdens.  More than that Graeme 
told us in his original post that the button is not the problem.

Sorry if I confused your 109" into thinking it was a series II.

Cheers
Diana
