Horn honks nonstop

I recently installed a new turn signal switch and a Bronco Script steering wheel which came with a Grant hub. With the hub on the horn honks nonstop. After checking the wiring and removing/reinstalling everything more that I care to mention I think I found the issue. Should there be complete separation of the copper ring on the back of the hub? As shown in the picture there is a small section connecting the two rings. Should I get a scribe and chip that away?

I'd also like someone to confirm that I have the signal cancel properly installed on the hub. The steering wheel I removed was aftermarket as well and used roll pins. My understanding is roll pins could not be used with the Bronco Script steering wheel so I purchased the factory signal cancel. The arrows point to where the roll pins would go.

Thank you,
Jack

Is your new turn signal switch a single contact or a double contact?This is what rubs against the copper in your pic. Also I used roll pins in my Bronco with a Grant wheel and it cancels great. I have a Lecarra wheel in my Fairlane with the same type of set up.

74creamsickle, thanks for the reply. The turn signal switch does have a double contact.

Cam position looks good. Put a little grease on it. You can use a razor knife to cut the copper.

Horn issue is fixed after removing the section of copper connecting the rings but the cam signal off does not cancel the turn signals. Problem for another day... Thanks again for the assistance.
