[FC] Turn signal cable not moving

[Wild8bill at aol.com]

I believe that I replaced my clutch head screws with philips head. After  
you get all that a part, look for the wire to be broken somewhere in the  
steering column head, usually where it bends, I had that happen. There are also 
 some pot-metal and plastic parts that are vulnerable to age. You can 
either  order new wire from a Corvair vendor or buy "instrument wire" in a  
25'+/- spool from your local hardware store for half the price. Use your  
micrometer to get the appropriate thickness. My package of that wire is packed  
away somewhere, or I would tell you what diameter to get, but .018 comes to  
mind.
 
On our rampside work truck, I had the parts break and the switch start to  
fail, so I just spun the signal arm hole to the top and installed a 
3-position  toggle switch and hard wired the signals to it, I also added a "hazard" 
switch  under the dash that supplies power to both signals at once while I 
was at it. It  may sound funky, but I copied the design of our old Nash 
Metropolitan, which had  the turn signal switch on the top of the column (much 
more elaborate and  decorative switch). No, it doesn't turn off automatically 
when you complete your  turn.
