Turn signal adjustment
What’s the trick to keeping the turn signal adjusted properly? I take the wheel off and adjust the collar so it’s in the middle of the right and left turn “bumps”. Put it back together and it works perfectly for a few turns. Then it’s back the way it was. Left turn is fine. Right turn clicks off right away with the steering wheel straight ahead.
Thanks,
John 3174

Pretty simple problem that 'all too many' Cobras have.
I can't say I remember a retaining ring.

Does the SPF Turn Signal Adjustment procedure listed above by Mark IV work for late model Backdraft Cobras?

No idea, but they use the same VW signal switch so I would assume possibly. We also supply a quality VW reproduction switch for under $100.00

I’ve used that procedure twice and the adjustment is perfect for only a few turns. Then its back the way it was.
What keeps the collar centered once everything is back together? I have a coil spring on the column but not sure what it’s supposed to be doing.

There should be a nub screw on the collar that clamps down on the steering shaft. Sometimes they slip.

We have had the slipping leaver mechanism slipping from day one. The set screw will not hold and is as tight as it can be, and will not come out to replace. Will get it fixed someday.

The procedure that Mark IV references uses the term “turn signal cancel lug”. One can rotate this lug to get good turn signal cancelation in both directions. Mine apparently easily moves out of position during use. What is supposed to keep it in the desired orientation? Is it the coil spring?

Take the steering wheel, cancelling collar and turn signal assembly off and you'll see marring on the steering shaft that the collar's set screw made.
Try drilling a little divot(?) in the steering shaft so the screw has a place to sit/grab and use some Lactate on the threads (of the collar).
Also, grease the fingers that pop out of the turn signal assembly (when you activate the lever) and the 'ears' of the collar.

............."use some Lactate on the threads". I know what you meant though, Loctite. I imagine it might be hard to find a cooperative female. LOL !

My set screw would not stay tight on the column. I drilled and tapped for a larger diameter set screw. Has not moved since.If my memory serves, there was a small piece of metal between the set screw and the column. I removed this and turned the screw directly against the column.
