C1 turn signal problem

[Vette66AirCoupe]

I'm putting my turn signal cancellation switch back together and I've run into a problem. I think the housing lock wedge, or what a previous owner's opinion of what a lock wedge should be may be the problem. The wedges I see for sale from various suppliers appear to be a wedge and a phillips screw. My configuration is a wedge, an allen headed bolt and a nut on the side facing me. The nut is holding the cancellation spring against the back of the cancelling switch as near as I can tell and I think it's binding everything up. I have several questions:
1. Does the wedge get installed with the screw facing you? I know that sounds dumb but there's a hole in the back of the housing that looks like it lines up with the wedge as if it was intended to allow adjustment. How you'd get to it is beyond me.
2. How do you adjust the wedge?
3. Is the cancelling switch pivot bolt supposed to be tightened?

I have a picture that's too big to suit the CAC's limits. I can e-mail it if anyone thinks it would help to see what I'm talking about regarding the current wedge configuration. You take pictures, you make notes, you put it all back the way it was and.......ad

Send It

I had to replace mine a few years ago and I don't remember what it was right now. I do "somewhere' have an exploded view of it and it's not difficult, maybe the picture will refresh my memory. Even after I replaced it, it wasn't perfect and I have to manually return the left turn signal by hand. I wasn't about to replace anything more than what I did. Let me know after you send it.

Does this help at all?

Yes! Your lock wedge has no nut on the end. That answers one question.

I figured out how to reduce the size of the photos, see the nut that's interfering with the flat centering spring?

Do you think the threads are stripped in the lock wedge or is it a smaller bolt needing the nut to keep the wedge in place?

Looks like mine's stripped. I'll have to order a new one. From your picture the screw head is on the inboard side. I'm hoping someone can tell me how you adjust this wedge. Once it's on the column there's not much room to get a screwdriver between the collar and the instrument cluster and through the access hole to the screw head as you can see from this picture.
