I installed that one about a week ago. I carefully followed all of the directions. My wheel (or the adapter) stated to use the foam pads between the horn button and the base in place of the metal spring. Also, I installed a relay on the inner fenderwell so the horn circuit on the steering column only experiences 100 milliamps of current (it's amazing how the wiring on these old cars is just not up to snuff).

Base onthe poor construction of the Grant adapter, I would recommend that you research my prvious posts concerning this matter. Also, I strongly recommend installing a relay for the horn. You sepnt all of that dough on you repaint, etc now it's time to spend a little on the electrical system.

The reason that the contacts were ground off of your turn signal switch is probably due to a solder blob that Grant's excellent manufacturing technicians applied when your wheel was made. I moved where the wires to the horn button attach to the sliprings on mine. Smooth and quiet steering wheel operation (until I press the horn button, then BLAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!).
