The short tube on the control going into the stator also holds the head in
place for the cancellation of the turn signals, when the end breaks-off,
which is often the head will just spin 360 degrees. Yes I know the signal
switch has to be in the indentation on the bottom of the wheel, but, when
the head spins, the signals will not cancel. "FT"
