Turn Signal Lever:

The turn signal lever is located closest to the top of the column. With the steering

wheel and adaptor removed, look down at the top of

the column and on the left side you will see a round

screw hole. This secures the lever to the column.

Insert the lever onto the turn signal switch and insert

the provided screw into the screw hole (not D shaped

hole). Use a #2 Phililps screw driver to tighten the

screw until the lever is no longer loose, the screw
will not rub on the brass piece of the white horn cam.

Tilt Lever:

Located directly below the turn signal lever will be the

treaded hole for the tilt lever. Simply screw the tilt lever
into this hole.

Emergency Flasher Knob:

The Emergency flasher is threaded into the hole
located on the right side of the column. You will
noticed the plastic portion that the flasher screws
into is flush with the outer surface when the flashers
are in the off position. It is easy to accidently turn
the flashers ON while installing which could lead to
problems later. Check to make sure the flashers are in
the OFF position before continuing.

If Column Shift Application:

Place column shift knob onto the shift lever. Once on,

use setscrew (provided) and adjust knob so setscrew

is pointing towards the floor, tighten setscrew. Do not

remove the upper shift lever for any reason! The tension

spring will pop out and it is very difficult to re-install.

Column Shift Linkage Installation:

At the bottom of your column you will notice a lever.

This is the shift lever where your linkage will attach

from the column to the transmission. Note the 5/16

hole through the bushings, most kits use a 5/16 bolt

to secure the rod to the column. Please follow the kit

instructions for the linkage, but make sure that no part

of the kit hits the metal portion of the lever, as it will

create a rattle in the column.
