C1 Brake Lights Thanks!

[David Lyon]

Thanks to everyone who responsed to my brake light problem on my '58. I changed the turn signal switch in the column as well as the cancellation switch. Everything works perfectly now. Question - what is the correct orientation of the spokes on the steering wheel? When I removed it, it was 12:00, 4:00 and 7:00 with the tires straight a head. That's the way it's been since I purchased the car in 1981. Thanks again!

Spokes should be 10,2, and 6. More importantly, the pins on the back, that cancel the turn signal, should be stacked vertically on the left side (8 and 10)

Thanks Mike! Good info and I will make certain the wheel goes on properly.
I've been nearly five years on this project and it surely is getting close.
Maybe I'll get to drive it this fall, if not next year. I'm located in northern Maine.

Resist the urge to finish it too quickly by taking shortcuts, doing that cost me an engine a few years back... Northern Maine? you must have snow by now anyway

Snow? It's getting close. I can feel it!
