Ok, so I picked up a horn button from O'Reilly $5. Looks good and the horn works fine.
I know that you're happy with the auxiliary horn button installation and no longer need to pull the wheel, but thinking about it and for future reference I really doubt that the splined center is just an insert floating in plastic. The plastic would never take the forces of steering & bumps, and would be dangerous at best. I suspect that there is a metal base with a plastic overlay surrounding the splined center and filling the hub assembly to provide electrical insulation for the horn. Granted, the spokes are somewhat "frail", but I expect they're mounted to metal in the center. Just my $0.02 after thinking about it too much.....
