3 speed column question
 
What holds the turn signal collar in place on a 3 speed column? I think mine has some broken pieces or something. I did a search but no luck.

My truck had them broken off too. I worked on mine again a few weeks ago. I did not get it right the first time. There are 3 "L" shaped tabs that engage the collar. They point counterclockwise. When the collar is installed over the tabs, it is turned clockwise a few degrees and the turn signal switch clamps the 2 parts in place. Can you tell where the tabs were? I can't remember what the measurements were. I had some pics with measurements, but they accidentally got deleted. Maybe someone will see this and chime in. My parts truck is buries in snow right now.

Ok all three tabs on mine were broken off. So I got another column and am using it but with the steering wheel off looking into the center of the turn signal switch there is a bearing missing. Where do I get that bearing. I checked lmc and their book did not show it>

It comes with the turn signal switch. I believe you can only get it in an assembly.

I usually get my parts from classic parts. They are also a vendor sponsor of this board. I try to buy from a sponsor whenever I can. Their website is easier to search than some of the other vendors.
