Rich I live absurdly close to you in salisbury nh. Im really interested in starting this project do you mind if I talk to you about it somtime?
There is a little ring that goes on the steering shaft that the blinker clicky hits and turns off after you turn.I forget to turn my blinkers off all the time! What did you install for that?
It's not the clockspring from the donor, is it? Mine got trashed when I removed the steering wheel if I remember correctly.There is a little ring that goes on the steering shaft that the blinker clicky hits and turns off after you turn.
I'll try to take a pic of it tonight.

I did keep the snap ring from the donor shaft. I will have to check that out! Thanks!You should have a snapring and a thin o-ring that keeps the shaft from sliding in the bearing.
With the snap ring on there is no movement in my steering shaft. You can yank on it back and forth and there’s not even a thousandths play.I just put the snap ring on. I knew it was on the original shaft but I didn't see the groove for it. I had to tap the shaft back to finally expose it completely. I knew I wasn't going to get by without having to pull the steering wheel hub at least once. Luckily I had a harmonic balancer puller that worked great!
Mount it with the tab 180 degrees from the turn signal. If you consider the turn signal to be at 10:00 position, mount the tab (with the steering wheel centered) at 4:00. That way it cancels at the same for both left and right turns. The little piece works really well.Is this a DF provided item?
Bad idea to tow an automatic without disconnecting the drive line in some way. Even in neutral, you can overheat the transmission and catch fire. I've seen it happen on the interstate.Question for anyone flat towing an automatic.
Do I need to do anything special?
I know Dan heavily modified his, but is any of that necessary?
