Tilt Column Signal Lever
I did a quick search and didnt find the exact info I needed. Ive got a tilt column out of an '80 that was shipped to me with the levers detached and Im wondering how to reattach the cruise/signal lever.
Thanks Kris

Re: Tilt Column Signal Lever
With the wheel off. Remove the lock-plate. You'll want a lock plate tool. Worth the money to avoid the 2 screwdriver snap-ring drama. You'll see right where to attach the lever. Just remember to thread your cruise wire down thru the column and plug it in.
Re-assemble. - Dave I'm serious about the lock plate tool!!

I picked up the tool at the store and had it fixed up in about 5 minutes.

BTO -
That tool almost makes you WANT to work on the column! Glad it was so easy. - Dave

Re: Tilt Column Signal Lever
Buy one, you will use more than once in your life. Mine fits many different column threads and sizes.
