Turn Signal Switch Trivia Question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Bruce68SB · 02-02-2003, 03:37 PM

I am installing a new turn signal switch in my 68 Chevy truck. I am trying to figure out what kind of screw holds the turn signal lever in place (to the switch).

The old switch had the turn signal lever held down with a drywall screw epoxyed in place. My new switch did not come with a screw for the turn signal lever. Neither did my new turn signal lever. The hole the screw goes in is plastic for the first 1/8 inch of depth, and then metal for the other 5/8 inch of depth. And I just noticed the metal part of the hole is not threaded. If I put a bent paper clip in there, I can feel it is smooth.

Does this take a special self-tapping screw to go into this hole?
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
