[Healeys] BJ8 Turn signal mechanism question

[Bob Haskell]

I think the parts Wes is looking for are only used with the 
non-adjustable steering wheel, so Lin's article isn't going to be much help.

I don't have the parts manual you're referring to, but the main part 
you're missing is a washer with a bent arm.  The washer goes under the 
nut that holds the steering wheel on the column and the bent arm fits in 
the 'fork' of the pot metal ring.  The arm is slotted lengthwise.  Can 
you describe the other part shown in the manual?
