I had a similar problem with two different adapters. One thing to get if you
go with a grant is the pancake extender which is shorter than the regular
adapter and keeps the wheel closer to the dash and the turn signal. Go to
the Grant website and be careful, I think the earlies and later adapters are
different. www.grantproducts.com

The only troubles that I have had with the adapter is that the copper
sheet that is the horn contact touched the steering column and needed
to be ground away a little so it would clear. After a couple of years
the horn became intermittent. It seems that the copper had worn away.
I replaced the copper with a .010" brass sheet and reshaped the brush
to be more rounded. It works fine now, check back with me in a few years!
