I thought it had something to with the spring and cups...You have the "cups" in place where they should be...? There also that threaded ring under the wheel on the column you have to adjust...The only problem I remember having was screwing the two rubber "plugs" down too tight and the horn ring wouldn't "ground"... 1947 Fleetmaster Sport Coupe VCCA # 47475 If it's not wearing a Bowtie...It's not properly dressed...!
