Installing Grant wheel...

[Darrman]

I am currently installing a Grant wheel on my Ps auto column for the ps conversion I am doing.
I had to pick up a new turn signal lever, and install a new turn signal cam, which is already installed now. I am wondering what makes the cam cancel itself? Like when you have the blinker on and and you go around a corner and it turns itself off? I am afraid I am missing something, but dont know what.
Any help would be apreaciated, thanks!

I'm using the grant billet adapter and there is a pin that goes in a hole in the grant adapter facing the turn signal switch which works similar to the original. Mine was a brass looking pin. I took the pin off mine because it kept catching the turn signal cam wrong and breaking the ears off the switch.

Hmmm, definitly dont have that part. This sucks, back to the junkyard I guess.
On a lighter note, the column just came out of the paint booth, and looks sweet. Painted 'er Medium gray metallic, gonna two tone the whole interior with semi gloss black.
Thanks for the heads up, I will yank a wheel at the junkyard tomorrow.

You have to buy the steering whell install kit in order to mount the steering wheel, in the kit it will have a roll pin that cancels the turn signal! I think the kit is like 20 bucks from autozone!!!! it comes with everything you need!!!!!

I have the kit, it says you reuse the factory part.

The stock wheel should have the pin thing which just pulls off and then can be pushed onto the grant wheel hub

so is it just a roll pin, like the one that hold the gearshift to the shift collar? If so I can just get one at the hardware store (I hope)
Sorry for sounding ignorant, but I have no clue what it looks like, as I dont have a stock wheel, and I cant find any diagrams that show it.

This is what the factory piece looks like.



It snaps onto the bottom of the steering wheel hub. Sorry for the bad pic, it's the only one I had:

Crap, dont have it. I am going to try to get it from the source I bought the column from. If that dont work, I guess its junkyard time.
Thanks for the help and pics!

Post the request in the Part Wanted section. I'm sure one of the members has a spare they could sell you.

Well, relief, I managed to get a friend to pick up the part from the junkyard today. Its gonna be fun trying to fit it on the grant hub, this thing has some amazing tension in it.
