Currently have an ‘80’s GM Steering column in the ’47 Chevy truck. Is there a Horn contact ring/signal cancel cam available with the Horn contact at the 12 o’clock position?
I watched a few videos and it looks like the horn contact ring needs to be at the 10:30 position to allow the turn signal cancel evenly on the late GM units. The AD steering wheel has the horn contact spring at the 12 o’clock position. There is a screw hole for the (upper)horn contact at the 10:30 position on the AD steering wheel, so drilling a new hole for the horn contact ring is not an option.
I thought I’d ask here if anyone has mated an AD steering wheel to a late GM column and retained the function of the horn button.
