[TR] turn signal Cancel

[G.D. Huggins]

Roger,

On the TR4A the turn signal cancel is activated by a small cam lobe which is
welded to the steering column.
It needs to be placed between the two "fingers" of the turn signal switch.
That way when the column comes back across the finger, the lobe makes contact,
turning off the switch.

There is nothing springy or moveable about this cam.  Methinks you need to
recenter the steering column through the switch.
(Provided, of course, that the 250 works like the TR4A)

position.    I have heard people talk about just moving the cam to get this
fixed.  But on another Triumph (GT6) I tried turning the cam only to find that
it was held in place by two dimples and it was not springy enough to hold its
shape.  So I could not get it tight on the steering column again.

do some trial and error, but if it is in nearly the correct position now, it
may be a different problem.
