What is this part of steering column called - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I am putting this van tilt in my truck and I don't know what the piece that goes in the circled area is called. Anyone know the correct name of that piece that fits in this hole?

It's for the horn pin.

i think the technical term is "thingy" theres supposed to be a pin thats spring loaded for the horn contact

That whole piece is called a cancelling cam.

Second this. And if you don't have one.....yer horn don't worky very well!

If i'm not mistaken that is not the correct cancel cam for a tilt column. A truck and/or van cancel cam is not dished on top like that one. The correct one needs to be deeper to retain the spring on top of the shaft.

Yep!..

..... its a "thingy"
