1967 Cancelling cam spring

[Gary A.]

I'm in the process of replacing the aftermarket steering wheel on my 67 with the original wheel and hub. In the process I am also replacing the horn contact, related parts etc. The diagram I have shows a cancelling cam spring, I have no such spring in the column. I retain the original black cam. The vendor books show a spring for Telescopic, but nothing for Standard column. Are they interchangeable, or not needed for standard? Only part I am missing for reassembly. I checked the archives but find no mention of the spring. My car is a late may build. Gary

Thanks for pictures Steve. The small spring between the cancelling cam, and the hub, in the second photo is what I'm missing. It's listed in the Zip and CC catalog under Telescopic column but not Standard. Is it the same spring? If not, where could I source one? Gary

In Stephen's picture, you can see the metal pin coming out of the cancelling cam. Behind that pin should be a spring.

Mike, I have that part. It's the larger spring in the second photo that I'm missing.

The coil spring about 1" long and 3/4" dia is the same for both columns in 67 according to the LICS (expired) catalog.

Gary, I am sorry because I thought you were talking about the cancelling cam. The part you need is called a steering shaft spring.
