[FC] FC Steering Column and Turn Signal Mechanism Differences

[Kevin Clark kevin@kcvairbrush.com]

Maybe I didn't make myself clear. I really appreciate everybody's  
input on fixing a problem and the modification using non FC parts.  
Originally I just wanted to know if any parts of an early car turn  
signal is interchangeable with FC's and I guess it's not. Right now  
I'm using a cable with one end hooked up to the switch and the other  
end mounted on the steering column bracket with a knob. I pull up for  
right turn signal and down for left turn signal. Clever huh?
