Re: van tilt

Switches are still available. Are mounting screws missing also? that may be a problem. they are unique for tilts.

Re: van tilt

Bring it buy the house and we will compair it to mine and see what all is missing. I would get the new switch any way and I think we can make the stuff from your non tilt work even if we need to modify or retap a screw hole or somthing we can get it done. I totaly rebuilt mine when I got it, new barings and every thing I wanted to besure I didnt have to mess with it again.

Re: van tilt

I'm not trying to be a smart a$$ but if you put your digital camera on the flower setting it will take close up pictures more clearly. I just learned this a few months back myself. It may be some other symbol besides a flower. Depends on the camera brand I guess.

Re: van tilt

All you need for that column is turn signal Lever. Pointer is different from fixxed column to tilt column but both are available from Early Classic Ent. You will also need to take left turn cancell spring from your original column and install it in your tilt.
Or if you want it all ready to install buy one of these. Check Link

Re: van tilt

it should work just fine. I think your old lever will work too. When I got my parts I got them all from Wes as classic heart beat. I got the pointer and all the barings from him.
