Tuff steering wheel clearance problem

installed a Tuff type steering wheel with correct adapter kit, but the gap from the turn signal lever to the back side of the new steering wheel is very tight, can just about get a finger between the wheel and the lever i keep turning the turn signals on while driving. anyone have the same problem ? this is on a 69 Cuda. with console shift.

Looks like if you took it apart and removed the turn signal arm off you might be able to tweak it a little forward to gain a little more room. I wouldn't do any bending with it in the switch it might break.
