The horn ring part number is fine for 1971; if it's a poor fit, is it the wheel that has been changed? I've had problems with dirty surfaces on the contacts. The brass ring maintains contact with the brass spring on indicator switch as you steer - does it hoot if the steering is turned as you press the horn bar? If the steering column earthing is OK, which sounds OK from what you say, it must be to do with the geometry of the contacts or their surface condition - are the screws tightened evenly? Finally, is the column switch collar in the right position - there should be a small gap between it and the wheel - maybe it's too large a gap for the spring contact to touch the brass ring (mine's a bit close, and on heavy breaking the horn sometimes sounds).
