The shims are "wavey". They are needed to set the height of the horn button from the contact ring, and provide a sort of spring effect, to keep the horn button up off of the contact, until pressed. Without the shims, the horn button will always be in contact, and of course, the horn will blast all the time...not really a good thing.
The shims are used "as needed", to obtain a nominal clearance(.010"). Might take 7, might take 3...you just have to add/subtract until the dang thing works like it's s'posed to.
Here's a page from the assy manual with info on the shim placement, and specs.
