Other: Signal cancelling

[Haroldr]

Can't get signals to self cancel. Am I missing anythin

[StudeRich]

Yes the "Tripper" on the back of the wheel is missing. It is like a Coil around the base of the wheel with a "Tang" sticking out to trip the Cancel Switch.

Looks like it May be a '57 to '60 Hawk.
This is the '61 to '66 Type Wheel, with the brass plate type horn switch plate.

It is a 57' Golden Hawk. Thank you for the info. Now I have to try and find that piece

I think you will need the entire plastic switch assembly. At least I did when mine acted like that. Used to be hard to get but now I think Stude Intl. is providing them.

[StudeRich]

His is a '57, so there IS no plastic parts of the turn signal switch and cancel, it is all metal as shown in Post # 1.

If the gap between the steering wheel and the column is too wide. That can cause your problem. You can loosen column and move it closer to steering wheel. Fyi your parts look period correct for 1957.

Yeah. The '57 wheel does not an extra "tripper". There one there already; that ring with the segment missing is your tripper. Judging by the pics, the cancel dog of the signal switch has been scraping the hub of the wheel at a point just above the cutout in the tripper ring. Either the tripper ring is not pressed onto the hub far enough, or the steering column jacket is too far up the column shaft, and the gap between the wheel hub and the column cup is too small.

[StudeRich]

OPPS, forgot about that Gord, yes there must be a problem with the switch, thank you.

The gap on that spit ring must face to the right when assembled. It seems to be backwards if I am viewing the photo correctly. The edges of the little toggle on the right hand portion of your switch will snag on the gap of the split ring and drag the switch back to neutral position. You can tap the ring around to the correct position with a little punch and a tiny hammer.
