[Roadsters] Grant wheel hub

[Gary and Cindy Ault]

Louie,

I had the same problem initially.  I solved it by loosening the bolts which 
hold the steering u-joint to the steering column at the steering box,.  I 
then pulled the steering column out as far as I could, and that established 
sufficient clearance.  Note the the steering column is notched for the 
bolts, so the U-joint cannot slip off the column unless you remove the bolts 
completely.  Be careful that you don't pull it out so far that the copper 
face no longer makes contact with the spring-loaded pin in the turn signal 
assembly.

Let me know whether that works.

Gary

Gary,
     Thanks. We did try to trim the metal shroud, but it seems like the 
copper face of the adapter is too close to the turn signal mechanism and 
pressure on the wheel causes contact setting off the horn.
