does the column have a nut just above the bearing? never seen that before that I remember, just remember having to get a new bearing because the shaft dropped and the bearing rollers fell down the column tube. good idea.

make sure the signal lever fits the new switch or you have a lever that will work
funny pic but it looks like the odometer is open on your speedo?
Column does have a nut just above the bearing, yes. When I was pulling on the wires, it did not feel like there was a plastic covering...there are marks along the wires where they are scratching against the metal. I guess I should try and add some sheathing while I'm at it.

I was wondering who might notice my awesome hand drawn speedometer. Its actually behind very clean glass, but yes the odometer is just hanging out there until I pony up the cash to get a proper set of gauges.
