Re: 55 directional lsignal

The articles do not address how the cancelling device works . I may be missing a piece. It is the piece that catches the cancelling device protrusion (maybe) I cannot see anything that triggers the cancelling device ---any help or pictures.?? The directional signals worked before I got the car painted. and did not after.--It was put together wrong or a piece is missing.

The plate on the back side of the steering wheel pushs on that arm the spring is pulling that moves the signal arm up or down , you sure the switch on the hand brake and flasher are OK or adjusted correct.

Thanks for responding guys and thanks for the terrific picture Roy. but-- I still do not understand. there must be something on the back of the steering wheel that engages the cancelling mechanism. I still think I am missing a part. can anyone explain?? thanks

Don -

That same cancelling assembly is used on '56-'62 Corvettes, and it's cancelled by two pins pressed into the forward face of the steering wheel hub; with the wheels straight ahead, the pins are at 8 and 10 o'clock as viewed from the driver's seat.

Re: 55 directional lsignal

This is the part screwed on the back of the steering wheel (see the tab) that's what cancels the turn signal 53 to 55

Re: 55 directional lsignal

Thanks guys. the picture that Roy posted show what I am missing. I guess my painter probably did not know where it went so he left it off. I will have to see if he still has it.
