Blake,
It won't really work if you replace it with a piece of plastic or wood. The part that you're missing is the contact finger. It has to be made of metal in order to ground the coil in the relay, which closes the switch and supplies 12v to the horns. Also there is a spring inside the finger so that only when you actually push on the horn button is the circuit complete. I think your best bet would be to buy a new one, you should also make sure the rubber cuff is in good shape too. If it was causing the horns to sound when turning left either the spring was getting stuck, or the rubber had degraded. Pretty much any parts place sells them, tweeks, automotion, stoddard, etc... On a '67 it should be the 44mm contact finger.
