If you trim the bottom of the wheel it will get very close to the turn signal stalk. Here is an AD wheel that I trimmed on a late 80s Camaro column. The
stalk is too close to the wheel, your fingers won't fit between it and wheel. Without trimming there is not enough spline / thread on the shaft.

I can't help with the horn button issue, the horn parts in my column came pre-broken and I have not gotten around to looking at the repair.
