The spacer(s) are they just used to set the clearance between the tele lock ring and the horn button?

I assume when you say "spacers" you are referring to the 563112 shim(s). Yes, these shims are used to set the clearance between the horn button and the tele- lock lever. You can use 1, 2 or 3 shims, as needed.

Thanks, that's the best blow up of the steering column I've seen.

The 82 CE horn button is a solid with the CE emblem on top. I've seen the one you mention for other 82's but not the CE horn button. hope that mad any sense on how I explained it..
