Default Turn signal / horn button Control head, has anybody done this?

Going thru my car after I initially received it, I paid particular attention to the turn signals switch as it definitely did not work as intended. Made it work, carefully reassembled, tested, Good to Go!! I also changed to the original style steering wheel.



Well, recently it has stopped cancelling left, so time to tear it apart and fix it. Then I started thinking, because I have the old style wheel, why not use an old style turn signal switch / horn button? The "control head". Pic below is CX2000 with one. They were also put on TR3's and big Healey's at the least, probably others. Looking for one now.



The rub here is that they are intended to be used with a worm and sector type of gearbox, which allows the center tube thru the shaft with the wiring. Not goin' there! Which means either a slip ring or wireless.

Any words of wisdom out there for me before I get myself in trouble?
