Re: Steering Column Conversion - Automatic to Manual, Non-Tilt

Continued assembly.

The turn signal switch wires and connector must be fed through the parts ahead of time.

Insert the special manual column upper bushing into the bell with the plastic side down toward the bell.

Attach the upper bearing yoke to the back of the turn signal switch.

The turn signal switch slips into the housing at an angle with the FLASHER knob inserted into the smaller of the two openings.

The turn signal switch housing then slides onto the column housing rotated out of position so it will clear the bumps on the column housing.

Once the turn signal switch housing is rotated to the correct position with the FLASHER switch pointing to the right and the flat wire routing portion of the column housing facing downward, then the upper bearing yoke can be engaged with the top of the column housing. Twist it back and forth until you feel it pop into the correct position. The yoke and switch will no longer be able to be rotated if they are in the correct position. Install the three shoulder screws to clamp everything together. The turn signal will need to be clicked down to provide access to all three holes.

On my column, the bell can be rotated back and forth a little bit, but it is held fairly snugly into position by the bushings.

The lower bearing and cover are then installed on the bottom end of the column housing. Position the bearing screw holes in the middles of the slots so the cover will cover up the other holes that are no longer used.

Install the wire cover over the turn signal switch wires.
