Years ago when I had my '62 LeBaron the horn ring broke in the same spot 
currently being discussed and the car only had 33,000 miles!

I repaired it by fabricating a backing plate out of stainless plate to fit 
the original mounting plate.  I can't recall the thickness of the steel I 
used but it was thick enough to resist bending and actuate the horn switch 
when the horn ring was pressed from any point along it, but still thin 
enough to mount as originally intended.  As I recall I rivetted the horn 
ring to the new backing plate.  I attached both of the original broken 
pieces to the new plate to gain as much extra stiffness as possible.  I 
never had another problem.

But if someone can manufacture one out of better material that's great too.

Now how about the door handles on the 60-63 models?
