[TR] control head redesign?

[dorpaul]

I have decided to attempt a crude redesign after ruining one or two control
head trifficators.  Has anyone had success with a similar attempt?

Both of two previous trifficators broke at the same point and it is where the
electrical contact is made between the light green wire's contact with the
left or right turn signal contact.  The moveable bakelite trifficator, at this
narrow point, holds both 'the screw holding the finger switch' on one side of
the small bakelite piece, and a 'small spring pushing the little brass
'shield' on the other side of the bakelite piece.  This 'shield' is moved left
or right to establish contact.

Also, regarding my pawl inquiry:  I am just going to assume that gravity
operates them and pulls the pawl letting it slide  down enough for their
angular bottom 'hits' the steering-wheel-casting in order to properly cancel
the turn signal after the steering wheel is turned.  Let me know if you know
that these greased pawls work differently than by mere gravity (as I assume
they do).

Thanks, Paul Dorsey             60 TR3
