Hi All,
I have a 1970 914 with an aftermarket Dino steering wheel. I've had issues with the turn signal cancel and the horn not working since I purchased the car. When I removed the steering wheel and adapter to investigate, it seems like the cancel tab is not long enough to fully initiate the cancel mechanism in the turn signal. It feels like it just touches it half way but still leaves the turn signal on. Is this a result of the tab on the cancel ring being worn out? Or is it the steering wheel adapter fitment preventing the tab to go as far as it needs to? Additionally, my horn doesn't work. I attached a picture below. It looks like the brass colored arm has been removed or sheered of. Will that affect the performance of the canceling tab? Thank you for the help in advance.   |

Is there a ring available with a longer tab?

QUOTE(The Double S @ Jun 16 2020, 01:53 AM)  Is there a ring available with a longer tab? All you can do is buy a new turn signal switch. The missing tab acts as a spring loaded contact that slides against the turn signal ring on the back of the steering wheel. Without it, the horn will never work. And they can't be bought separately. |
