What is this part?

[koosh]

Changing to new signal switch on 69 b body….as im installing, this piece hits the floor? I have no idea where it came from or where it goes?
Is it part of the switch?
Very thin metal, 1 1/4 long x 3/16 wide?
It may not even be from the switch!

its a type of tension spring. look at your removed switch to locate its placement

Thats the first thing i checked…. Nothing there?

Ive been searching for a schematic or blowup pic of a signal switch to see where this piece may go, no luck finding a picture

Could have come from either a #2 left hand gazinta (or # 2 right hand) assembly. Sometimes it's called a #2 right hand (or #2 left hand)J.C clip. It's called this because when it drops out and you cannot find it, I generally say: "Jesus Christ.....where did the fu****ing clip go""........just a thought.....

BUT....in spite of all odds....there it is. Tape it to the glove compartment door and run the car as is....if the car will not run, sell the car...but remember to torque the tire valve stem caps to spec....an important consideration.....

The Gazinta was E-Body only.

Just my opinion of coarse.

Not exclusively......I had a ' 68 Baracuda with the #2 LH Gazinta clip, holding the whizzer bracket to the carb.....always falling off and getting lost....use to buy them by the 1/2 dozen....cheap at $ 2.98 ea. not now....if/when you can find them...very pricey....

Yes.....I researched them.....they have the # 2 RH Gazinta clips in stock....but the #2 LH clips are back ordered.....apparently a tooling issue....

Wow!!! Tough crowd!!! (And funny, too!)
The ring on the crush can initial unlocks a left or right turn position. The piece koosh asked about is a return spring to center the cam from a left or right turn.
Here are some pictures...

Wow!!!! and the switch manufacturer said it was not part of the switch i purchased!!!! Now that everything is back together, wonder if i need it. My aftermarket wheel adapter has no provision for turn canceling
