IIRC - The only wire on the steering column for the horn is the black earth - this goes to the blue plug on the back of the rotery coupler and is earthed through the button on the wheel but I might be wrong.

Are you moving the horn switch or the actual horn?

on the mk2, its the blue wire with a thin green stripe on it. (in the middle of the white connector plug)

If its an aftermarket wheel you have fitted then there is a way of using the old r200/400 horn contact, the mouldings and spade connector still exist on the ZS switch housing, so it should be quite easy to do...
