I thought I had all the parts for this swap but now I’m not sure. First off when I mocked the parts up I noticed my contact ring is toast.

I also went with the J West adapter to bring the wheel out and up a bit.

I know the wire from the contact ring goes up through the hub and connects to the center tab on the horn button, and I thought the other tab on the horn button grounded to the silver ring that sits under the wheel. But after putting this together I’m not sure

And after putting the horn button in the wheel, it does not seat properly. What holds the horn button in anyway?

Also, is the blinker canceling tab mounted at the 3 o clock position if the wheel is straight?

I had the same problem with the same parts. The tab is at 3 o'clock . On the horn button, one wire goes to the ground, which is the connection on the silver ring and the other wire goes to the horn ring.
In my stash of spare parts and wheels, I had a black ring, that holds the horn button in place. I don't know if you can buy this ring separately. There might also be a horn button that works without the ring. You will also need longer screws.

Thank you, I see how that part would work, but I’m not in love with it. I may have to MacGyver something. You would think someone would make a kit for this swap, I know a lot of people are running this same set up.

I love your car by the way!
