The plastic box under the steering wheel that holds the switches for the turn signal
and wiper on the Yellow Peril is cracked and dying.
I found the later item (I think it came off a 1976 264) made of diecast white metal
that seems to fit OK and will hold the switches just fine. I'm planning to put it on
in a few minutes. But there's a problem: The two-piece plastic cowl that fits around it
is made to mount to the smaller plastic one will not mount to the newer metal item.
Does anyone have the plastic cowl that goes between the steering wheel and the dash
from an early 240/260 that they would be willing to part with?
Your help in this will be greatly appreciated!

Hello,


Please take a picture so I know what to look for in my parts box.

I think I have worked out a way to mount the old box. I greatly appreciate your consideration!
What I did was to drill a couple holes in top section of the old cowl to match the screw holes
in the top(?) of the metal mount. (I may have it upside down but it will work that way)
Then I put an aluminum bracket between the two switches to which I can screw the bottom
section of the cowl. I may have to put an internal strap on each side to hold them tightly
together, but I think it will look OK and not foul the steering wheel.
