Re: Horn connection: ’47 to ’52 steering wheel on ’74 to ’91 column.

Thanks leegreen, that gave me some things to consider. I used a router to modify the stock steering wheel. The turn signal stalk doesn’t have any switches, it comes out at an angle, so I mounted it upside down to gain clearance. I bent the tilt lever to make room for the repositioned turn signal stalk. I torqued down the column nut and everything fits. The horn contact didn’t work, so I removed the wheel. The contact plate shifted while torquing down and deformed the end of the plastic tube the spring goes through. I shaved some plastic off and got it working. I’ll look into the cancel cam after I have driven awhile to see how it works.
