So... I have the standard VS Nardi wheel option. When I got the car, the turn signal cancelling tab was missing on the column adaptor, so I got one from Kirk. My next step was to buy a new German made (150 buck) switch ring.
Now my question is: is there some sort of magic about dailing the thing in? I rotate the assembly one way: I get good R turn cancelling, no L turn cancelling. I go the other way: same story (reversed), L good, R nothing. I've been going back & forth, getting no-where. Whas-up?

I had the same problem with my Bango kit the cancel ring from a 68 bus fixed it and it has to be centered 180 degrees away from the turn signal switch.

You might have a identical cancel ring as mine but may have to redrill the holes in it to get it in the right place, as I did..

Losly mount your wheel and get it centered for straight ahead driving then mark it on the passeger side at the horezonal center line.

I had to drill 3 new holes between the old ones. and then it would fit right.
I marked the centerpoint on the cancel ring then matched the it to the wheel.


I wonder if anybody else had to do this
It helps if you index the adapter hub to the cancellation ring and shaft first, place the ring on the adapter first, place the assembly in position on the shaft, then mount the wheel. Sometimes you get lucky. Trying to index a mounted wheel/adapter assembly as a whole makes one problem, the cancellation ring, into two.

Maybe . . . ?
Don't know precisely what you have as there are a wide number of parts that make up these assemblies over the years. I am using a "split" style assembly or early 356....

In my case I had to make up the assembly to trip both the left and the right indicators. My wheel is a banjo wheel from FiberSteel. In any event I originally drilled and tapped a hole about where I thought it would work. Like some others, that worked one way, but not the other....and depending upon where you positioned the adapter in relation to the turn signal lever, you had either left or right, but pretty much never had both. What I found in my case with my parts it takes 2 pins, not one. The pins are positioned about 1/2" apart. The Turn signal trip lever(s) rest in between the pins while driving down the road. Either a left or right position of the stalk will cause the appropriate lever to move to the other side of it's pin, and it works as intended....pretty simple when you know the answer.....yours may be entirely different than mine....
