As Tom mentioned they are supposed to be insulated. One tab on top of rectangular insulator then a washer then the other tab.
Do you have the colored wiring diagram that appears here often?
On the cutout there is a yellow wire with the voltage on it that goes to the horn. It travels through the terminal to a brush, through the arm to the other brush and then back to the terminal. It exits the horn and goes to the middle of the light bail up the light switch rod to the horn button and when pressed the horn button goes to ground.
So the voltage goes to the horn then to the light bail, then to the horn switch. If everything is good the horn does not blow and the wires do not get hot. When the button is pressed, the voltage goes to ground, completing the circuit and horn should blow.
