[6pack] Turn Signal Switch - Return Function

[john weir]

Hi Guys.
If I remember...I used a small Phillips to loosen the screw holding a white 
plastic 'finger' that hits the pin and returns the lever to the center as 
the steering wheel rotates. Once you open it up, you will see exactly what 
needs to be done. Even if the plastic is broken, a simple fab job will be 
done in 15-20 mins (hours).
I think that was the first job I did on my TR6. Bugged the %^&* out of me!
