I find it odd as well, but like many things in cruiserland parts changed over the years and I'm sure that's the case here. I'm curious to see what you find out.

Also see Cruiser-cult aka @red66toy for a new bushing for the pivot point of the column shifter.

i have NEVER seen or heard of personally a TOYOTA Genuine part that had to be FIELD Threaded in any way ever by the consumer at any level ?

Hey Matt,
The turn signal unit in post #28 don't look threaded. I also purchased one from Toyota and it is not threaded.
