Stock Steering wheel part question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**FleetsidePaul** · 01-10-2008, 12:05 PM

I'm putting back my stock wheel and have all the parts except the spring that goes behind the horn contact. (its the one under #14 in the pic)
Does anyone know where to get one besides just going to Pic A Part it doesn't look like it's repoped......Chevy Dealer???? Thanks Paul.

Not sure which one you mean...

Under 14 is 13???

**FleetsidePaul** · 01-10-2008, 12:19 PM

its the little spring kinda under to the right of the 14 its greyed out in the pic.

10/4. I see it now.

Check the www.classicparts.com site on page 40 of the catalog. (32-493B). It's the aftermarket kit but I think it has what you need.

About the only other thing you may be able to do is to see if you can find one in a junkyard as you mentioned.

Additional info.

I was looking at the actual catalog but the site shows this one that you may be able to use???

That one there is a different spring. I'm 85% sure the ones from a 73-87 column is the same as the one you need Paul...

Thanks for the replies, I may have to hit the junkyard I hate to buy a kit when all
I need is a little spring.

**john** · 01-11-2008, 08:39 AM

This may sound funny, but I have used a shortened spring out of a ball point pen.

**FleetsidePaul** · 01-11-2008, 10:33 AM

youre thinking of the little spring on the contact, yeah it looks like a pen spring, I've got that one, the one I need is the one that goes around the center shaft it's probably about 3/4 inches wide and a inch tall.

Wrenchbender Ret · 01-11-2008, 12:01 PM

If it,s a non-tilt column it doesn,t use a spring there. The spring is below the lower brg. #44. When you tighten down the strg. wheel nut it pulls up on the shaft & compresses the spring.

**john** · 01-11-2008, 12:51 PM

Paul if you have a tilt column the cancelling cam will look like the one on them left with a spring under it. A standard column has a cancelling cam like the one on the right, and it is as wrenchbender ret describes. If you need one for tilt you should be able to find at a hardware store.

**FleetsidePaul** · 01-12-2008, 11:51 AM

OK mines not a tilt, and I've got one one the taller white cams so I'm good to go..Thanks..
