Hello Gil:
We sell those parts.  It's called a horn cancel cam.  the looseness you are experiencing is not from the cancel cam though, it's probably from the bearings or the retainers underneath it.
I will enclose a diagram to help you reassemble it properly, but you will need a spring plate compressor to do this job.  Most part stores carry them for @ $15.
If you need to order the part, email me directly at dgan@stolenandrecovered.com.  The part sells for $15.08 plus $6.50 shipping.
