I have been thinking about this for some time...
With the huge number of simple remote control devices in out lives, what's the problem with making or improvising a remote connection from the steering wheel hub to a remote receiver behind the dash which would operate the horn via a suitable relay.
A possible receiver?:

If you have seven year old child they could probably do this in their sleep, most schools are doing this sort of thing regularly now. For me it's a bit of a challenge... I have made up an RF remote control for my cameras which allows me to for example photograph football behind goal action with a static camera from the half way line while I am photographing it with a second camera in my hand. If that's possible why not a signal from the steering wheel hub to the horn?
Should be possible for well less than 20 quid. Just need a seven year old with a soldering iron.
If that can be achieved reliably, why not a steering hub turn signal switch, tickover adjustment and perhaps an advance-retard adjuster, just like the real old time cars used to have. ~Perhaps that's being silly...
