Who is the manufacturer of the steering wheel hub/installation kit you used?

 

Volante is the manufacturer.

 

A little reading. https://forums.vintage-mustang.com/vintage-mustang-forum/1157316-scott-drake-strikes-again.html Different year but probably the same thing only different. All the hubs are the same China manufacture in different boxes best as I can tell.

 

Thank you very much! I did a quick scan of the thread. Very informative. Do you know where you can purchase the cancelling clip that you mention in your 5/17/19 post? Thank you again for your help.

 

Cancelling clip would not work. Do a more thorough reading of the thread for the solution.

 

Thank you. I did not read the second page of the thread that you had sent. It appears that my roll pins are too short. I have a second set that i am going to install to see if that will work. Thank you very much for the information and help. I do appreciate it. I learned something new!

 

What is the gap between the column and the wheel adapter like? As part of a whole change over where I had to replace my steering box (worn out) and wheel (cracked and mangled around the horn contacts) I had to deal with the column height and the gap between the column and wheel. Initially I shoved the column all the way down against the steering box. The old wheel was missing the finger that trips the canceling pawl. When that backordered part showed up and I installed it, the horn didn't work reliably and the turn signals didn't cancel in spite of the new wheel having the little finger. A bit of research and I found that the column doesn't necessarily go all the way down. There isn't quite enough travel in the underdash bracket to close the gap to factory (column overlaps a step in the wheel hub), getting it close got everything back to working correctly.

 

Thank you. I will take a look at the gap when I work on it tomorrow. I think it is the roll pins, but it could be the gap issue as well. I am missing a roll pin and the remaining one might be too short. I have a pair that i am going to try. Thank you for your help.

 

No problem!

 

I believe my roll pins were approximately 1 inch long each. I don’t know if your 66 would have those pins or another thing. I think it’s a turn signal cancel cam. In the steering wheel And hub kit that I purchased, it provided both rolled pins and that another thing. My 69 required the 2 rolled pins. Please be careful, the rolled pins are quite malleable. I believe that I gently tapped them in , with a towel or yoga mat type thing under teh hub so as to not damage the hub. I tapped them in a little at a time and kept test fitting it until I was able to get everything to work. Someone else on this website assisted me with that whole process. If I can find the thread, I will send it along.

 

Here is the thread that Nailbender sent me which helped immensely. In his post, there is a photo of the cancel cam, which I did not use. I attached photos fo the cam. Sorry, not the best quality. Btw, I have the cancel cam, if you need it instead of the rolled pins.

While test driving my car after the installation of the SD Corso Feroce Steering Wheel I notice the turn signals won't cancel after a turn. Turns out the hub was machined wrong with the canceling tabs pointing straight up. I tried rotating the wheel on the hub to make it work but since it's a 9...

I need a little help please with my turn signal cancellation issue. I recently installed a new steering wheel on my 1969. The new steering while is a Volante 9 bolt steering wheel (steering wheel and adaptor). After the installation, the turn signals would still cancel although not as good as before the new steering wheel. After two days, they will not cancel at all unless I manually cancel both turn signals (right and left). I have removed the new steering wheel to check the turn signal cancel cam. It is intact and appears to function. I think I have the steering lined up properly but the signal won't cancel. I am not sure what I else I need to do. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Here are some helpful hints might be appreciated for anyone having difficulties in getting their turn signals to work correctly. I'm enumerating for clarity and assume if you are reading this, you are having turn signal trouble. Please note that these comments are reflective of my experience with an aftermarket nine bolt steering wheel with the turn signal switch in good shape. Corrections and additions from Forum members are appreciated and encouraged.

1. Make sure your road wheels are exactly straight before you remove the steering wheel. I used masking tape on the steering column and steering wheel hub and marked the position of the wheel with a magic marker so I wouldn't lose the setting in case the front wheels moved during steering wheel removal and replacement.

2. When you pull your aftermarket steering wheel you should see two roll pins protruding from the back of it. If there are none, or only one, the wheel will not actuate the turn signals correctly.

3. You can obtain roll pins that work at most hardware stores. I found mine at Summit Racing.

4. Be careful about driving the roll pins in too far. They have to protrude a short distance out from the back of the steering wheel or they won't actuate the turn signal switch. I know because I had to pull the wheel twice before I discovered that little nuance.

5. When installing the steering wheel, the two roll pins must face left with the distance between them divided by the turn signal lever. I used a piece of masking tape on the wheel hub and marked the the location of the roll pins on the tape with a magic marker so I could correctly position the wheel.

6. After following the above steps, my turn signals worked perfectly but the steering wheel was out of line. Mine is a nine bolt type so I removed all nine fasteners and reoriented the steering wheel accordingly. If yours is still off, you may need a trip to the alignment shop because using the splines on the steering shaft may throw the turn signals off, creating the same problem you are trying to solve.

 

I have a Volante steering wheel with that same style hub but for 65-66. The clip would not fit on my car. I ended up gently bending the two pins out slightly to work.

 

A note about roll pins. I ended up getting a compartmented plastic box with different size pins from Summit for not much more than what two of them from the hardware store cost, Having an assortment made it much easier to fit the right size pins.
