I'm working on a project that uses a '73-75(maybe more years) turn signal assembly(pic below). Two questions and maybe someone has a pic that I can't readily find.
Is this part listed only for those 3 years based on the different diameters of steering shafts thoughout the years?
I understand how the self-cancelling systems works, but is there a concentric or "lobe" that is on the steering shaft that actuates the signal off? Pic 1 is turn signal(TS) in the off position, the shaft doesn't contact anything.
Pic 2 is the TS on, assuming there is a lobe on the shaft. When it spins towards the blue arrow(counter-clockwise) the spring compresses and the TS stays on, when it turn clockwise the green lobe contacts the white plastic and turns the TS off, returning it to a neutral position.
This follows a pattern of TS on for left turn, spin the wheel left during turn and TS stays on, turn right to straighten vehicle and TS turns off.
But I can't find a pic of 1) is there a lobe on the shaft and 2) what does this signal assembly bolt to so it stays static while the shaft spinds within it. Anyone have pics?
Thanks,
