I had this problem on my 73 TR6. I made a new bushing for the top of the
steering column (sorry, I didn't record the dimensions) that eliminated
'play' in all directions. It was this movement that allowed the turn
signal clip to contact the horn ring and sound the horns on hard turns. As
an added benefit, I was able to move the turn signal switch in a bit and
now the turn signals never fail to self cancel.
