It shouldn't be the wheel that cancels the indicator stalk but a peg or clip 
attached to the column.  I think it was about 1970 that it changed from a 
peg screwed into the column, which required the column to be orientated 
correctly for the cancelling to work correctly.  After that is was a clip 
which can be slid round the column to the correct position.  Both types 
operate on fingers sticking out from the indicator switch assembly, so by 
removing the cowl, operating the switch, and turning the wheel it should be 
possible to see what isn't happening.  Straight ahead the peg or raised 
portion of the clip should face the switch.  Turning the wheel less than 1/4 
turn should bring the peg or clip under and away from the appropriate 
finger, such that when the wheel is returned to the straight ahead position 
the peg or clip engages the end of the finger and pushes the switch to the 
'off' position.
