I'm not sure if we are talking about the same thing. I put a 59 wheel on my 53 for the turn signals. It had a simular problem with the little button thing that goes in the wheel. It was worn and let the thing get cockeyed and wouldn't keep contact. I cleaned the hole and hit it with some 120 grit and then put a coat of PC-7 epoxy on it. Then I drilled it back out the right size. It works just fine now. I put a 15" wheel on it and made the whole outer ring and outer spokes out of PC-7. 3/8" steel inner core from another wheel. I guess it's called a horn contact pin.
