Tried to install my Flat 4 GT wheel today and I can't find the right screws to mount the horn cancel ring. The stock ones seem to be M3, but they just fall in the holes. M4 are too big and SAE 6-32 feel like they want to cross thread. Does it use M3.5 screws?
While we're at it, explain the horn button wiring to me. I'm used to the single wire coming up through the steering column and screwing to the horn ring. It looks like the F4 button uses that and a ground? The instructions that came with it are very lacking.

dont know about screw size but wiring is that you attach the ground through the steering column to one terminal on the horn button and then attach the other terminal with the pictured wire to a screw on the adapter then then press fit the horn to the steering wheel should work looks like there is a embossed picture that the outside terminal is the ground

I spoke with someone at ISP today (had to order the correct adapter anyway) and he said just use the stock single wire from the steering column and just use one of those connections. No need to use a second or dedicated ground.

Something you don't report- is that wheel/hub brand new or just new to you?

It makes a difference when wondering what screw fits. If it were me I'd take the hub with me into a proper hardware store (we have Tacoma Screw here) and walk out with 3 perfectly fitted screws.

It's new to me.
I took it to Lowe's and they only have a limited selection. The next step was McMaster Carr or Fastenal, but then I realized the splines were wrong for my car. I ordered the correct hub and it comes with the screws and the correct nut for the steering shaft.
