Here is a great way to fix a Calais steering wheel horn mout lug.

You will need a donor standard horn pad to cut lugs off of.
You will need some welding wire - I used hi tensile oxy welding wire.
A drill bit for a snug fit for the wire.
A battery drill, side cutters and sharp knife blade to cut the old snapped lug.
5 minute Araldite.

Update:

The repaired lugs on my black VP SS steering wheel have been in operation just over 2 years without issue. Now to follow my own "how to" LOL.
