Tilt steering swap?

Tilt steering swap?
So this is kinda 2 part question here. I did a steering wheel swap and realized why my horn wasn’t working well the piece that holds the spring and shaft thing in place was broken off. So my question is I want tilt steering wheel option. So if I convert to tilt do I have to change the entire column and if not will this provide me with the ability to repair or replace that piece needed to fix horn? Btw it’s a 1972 cutlass with floor shifter

If you're talking about the horn contact wire, yes, that's a floating part that connects the horn button contact to the column contact - you can get this part pretty readily for under $20 I believe

so the piece on the column that, the above 👆🏾 black piece, locks into. That’s the piece that’s no longer there. I’m wondering if that can be replaced?

I don't think so - I think that's part of another column component which may not be a separately replaceable part, at least not without a good amount of column disassembly
hopefully someone here with direct column rebuilding knowledge will offer additional info on that

thanks that’s it, now my amateur but gotta figure out how to swap that out once I find the one I need. Non tilt.
