The post on the right side of the photo is what fits through the steering wheel hub. The spring and eyelet fit into this post and are retained with a plastic quarter-turn ring. The horn button retainer ring has a tab that touches the eyelet to complete the circuit.

The part I replaced is plastic that engages when the turn lever is moved up or down, it is called a turn signal switch, that was what was wrong with my turn signal (rh) not clicking off after the turn. If the horn contactor is missing, and Joe is correct about the cam lobes on that device, then you have more of an issue with turn signals.
