Hey GPZ, it just so happens that I have a left control unit on hand completely disassembled. Another member was going to take it off my hands but as it turned out, he just needed a few pics of the internals. This is from an 81 850G.
The horn spring has a copper cup inside the plastic button. Do you still have that cup?
Some measurements for you.

yes i still have the copper cup so theese measurements are great i have a big box off assorted springs so im sure i can make one up ,i was initialy looking to buy a used switch but money is a bit short at the moment so ill try the spring thanks for the replysComment

well it worked ive cut down a spring to the dimensions supplied but its so long since i took the switch to bits i found a round disc, very much like the copper one that goes under the horn push button but not sure where it goes anybody got any pics all help appreciatedComment

The original one is cupped to fit into the end of the spring. It is the copper disc that actually touches the electrical contacts on the circuit board.
