If your BJ8 works the same as my BN1 the nut on the end of the steering box
where the turn signal and horn wires come out is what keeps the assemble
from pulling out or turning.
A long tube called the stator tube is attached to the control head and goes
all the way down to the steering box, if you have an adjustable wheel it may
be different, not as familar with those. Anyway the nut on the end of the
steering box holds the stator tube in place with a brass compression
fitting.

Subject: Turn signal mechanism on Steering Wheel
> I have a 65 BJ8 with only one problem...I know that's hard to believe!!!
It seems a set screw or something of the like has come loose and I can't
find it. When I turn the steering wheel, the whole assembly (horn button,
turn signal control, and cover) all move with the wheel rather than staying
stationary. Everything works and I have taken apart the steering wheel
assembly to fix the problem, but can't find what holds the thing stationary.
I'm sure this is a simple fix, but I'm stumped. Can anyone throw me a bone
on this? Any help would be appreciated.
