They look like they were once little vertical hooks. One is in quite good shape. The other is sloped, but I think it could be modified or built up on a cold or rainy and otherwise useless "car day" to work. > It's small and I think you have it. You called it the cancelling cam a couple > of paragraphs above. OK I have it. I'm still not clear on the action of the spring on the upper and lower nylon pieces and their function. The cancelling cam doesn't move them up and down, the lever does. And the steering wheel blade pulls down the cam, and with it the whole works. The spring clearly holds the nylon pieces in their grooves better, but I dont see any function to them. (I'm not doubting there was one). Ahh forget it. I must be boring the daylights out of you. Maybe I have a little spring I can just put in place to see what happens to it, just to watch the action. I wouldnt put the wrong part in there, even temporarily. Maybe those nylon pieces are just glides of a sort. In my car, they're UNDER a metal plate, not like in Bentley. > I don't think being chewed up will hurt it, as long as it can still push > against > the little protruding nylon piece (cancelling cam.)
