Problem with horn 86 1/2 ton

I have had a problem for a while where the horn blows when I turn the wheel. I pulled the steering wheel and looked at the wiring setup. I have found a broken plastic clip that holds an electrode in its place. Is there anywhere where I can buy this plastic piece. I know if I get desperate I can go look in a junk yard, but is there anywhere else I can find it? I guess what I am asking is do y'all know of a place that sells steering wheel components.

That's the sliding contact, which is part of the turn/hazard switch. Maybe Mac's, LMC Truck, Jeff's BroncoGraveyard...

I called columns galore. The nice lady I spoke to told me they couldn't sell me the "horn brushes" because Ford discontinued the part. I called my local dealership and indeed the part is discontinued, but they could get one out of the Baytown dealership and I would have it in a couple of days. The part was $18.99 with $8 for freight.
