I installed a 59 Impala steering wheel in my 56 and am having issues with the horn. Does any one make the 3 holed triangle shaped plastic thing thicker. My horm honks when wheel turns unless I put a nylon washer each leg of this thing.

Did you use the standoff for a 59, or re-use the 56 piece? They are slighly different in height.

THe standoff, spacerand etc all appeared to be the same, perhaps I need to order a horn parts kit for a 59.

I had to for mine. Not expensive, I think it will fix you up.

The difference in height on the spacer/standoff ring is pretty subtle, maybe only 1/32". Maybe you could shim it with washers, but most washers are thicker than that.
