Recovering from an early season cold. I got into the warm shop today, to address the steering column, turn signal canceling cam. I designed and machined one on my own. Details can be found at the following...

Instead of ordering a cam from Tom's Offroad. I went out to the shop and created a cam on my own. Using the 1/4" tall shoulder, on the back side of the steering wheel hub. I designed a one piece aluminum cam that attacts to that shoulder. With a light press fit and two #8 set screws. Not having...

I'm going to give that J cap trim a try. So I placed an order in black anodized. Expecting delivery next Monday.

Exactly what I was thinking. Today I will study the situation and get some measurements.

Hi, .94 OR: Thanks for the link. I like this suggestion. The 3/32 J Cap just might work.

I like your suggestion. I am concerned with that possibility. I may even make aluminum cover straps for the whole perimeter. I did make measurements of the lengths and hole spacing.

Some more progress was made on the headliner this week. I needed to fabricate a new headliner support. To cover the gap between the front and rear sections. I used an 1/8"×2"×53" piece of aluminum to cover the gap. Both ends of the piece were bent over a tire on my snowblower and a piece of 6"...

Thanks, Todd and Lars for sharing. I need to do this, it sure looks like a blast.

Maybe a fixture similar to this jig. That my top is mounted in. To facilitate working on the headliner. You could make it more compact with a better base on one end. And maybe add casters as BronCowie did on his. The top is bolted to the fixture with bolts through the bed and front mounting...

I finally had an opportunity, to work on the project today. It, has been a full three weeks of attending to family needs. I have been chasing a shifting issue that comes and goes with 4r70w. The suspected issue being a bad throttle position sensor. So today with the use of a multimeter, it was...

I don't have a picture, but the cam is sold through Tom’s Offroad Parts. Item #3797.

I had some time to analyze the cancel feature on my stock column. As shown in your picture of the cancelation lever with the yellow circle. Yes this is the general area where the cancel pin should contact the lever, upon the return rotation of the steering wheel. And force the lever out away...

They will be passing through my town on I80. I would be glad to help if needed. Safe travels.

I have this one that came out of my 76. Not quite the same in respect that it is a one piece unit.

Nice to know that they are available. I may pick one up if or when my new plastic one fails.
