I purchased the little funnel shaped knob for the hazzard switch on my 71 but now I can't figure out how to attach it? Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

That hazard switch is for a tilt column. I will look to see if I have a hazard switch for a non-tilt. It should be a red one, if it's in good shape, I will just trade ya out. Trevor

Yeah strange, I checked Classic and they seem to only have the one I ordered. It's a bit frustrating when you try to finish one thing and then have to switch to another aspect...and again and again. I just keep plugging along though. Thanks take care!

The one you have is permanently attached to your turn signal switch. So you would have to replace your whole turn switch.

As far as I know, there is no reproduction for the original red hazard switch. Some of the catalogs like LMC offer the tilt style knob as a universal replacement.

Thanks for all the info! I really appreciated it!

Hubscrub · 07-18-2010, 08:41 AM

like said above you have to buy the switch, i just use a small screwdriver

71tahoe · 07-18-2010, 08:55 AM

I have taken 2 switches that had different problems and made one. The hazard part can be disassembled and reassembled with an unbroken used knob. Someone may still make an exact reproduction turn signal switch and it is a little bit of a pain to install.

Thanks! Are you able to get it to click outward?

marks1972 · 07-18-2010, 10:25 AM

Well that sucks. Wish they would make a replacment nob instead of making you buy the whole thing. Mine won't stay out either.
