I can't seem to find the contact info for Russ. Ordered the turn signal kit long ago, and cant even locate original emails. I am sure its something on my end, as the kit is top quality.
When I tighten the hex bolt that holds the steering wheel my turn signal assembly gets stuck and is no longer free moving. When I turn the steering wheel it actually moves the turn signal lever.
Anyone had a similar issue, and ideas on how to tweak things?

Yes. I'm eagerly waiting on what you place here after talking with him.

I don't have a phone number in my e-mails from him.

The back of the steering wheel hub is rubing on the turn signal, you need to pull the steering wheel shaft out a little to give it clearance.

That is most likely the case. Will give this a go before reaching out to Russ.
Thanks for all your comments.

Yes I had the same issue, moving the steering wheel shaft very minutely forward corrected the issue for me....good luck

The steering shaft length is adjustable. Loosen the set screws in the upper bearing block and pull the upper shaft out a little.
