Default Re: 46-48 steering column factory turn signal assembly

Is the diameter of the Mercury hub the same as the Ford hub as I would still want to use the Ford steering wheel on the Mercury assembly.
Old Henry , thanks for the Ford mumbers.
Displayman , do you have a picture of the Mercury assembly with the steering wheel off.
37Coupe , do you have a picture of the factory assembly you have used.
Johnny , will the 47 steering wheel bolt up to the later model column and match the hub diameter.

Hey Flathead47,
I can't find the pics I took of the switch with the steering wheel off.
I will keep looking.
Good luck,
Bob

This is the picture of the turn signal option Ford provided for the 1949-1950 Fords by 1951 they finally incorporated it into the column hub. Interesting that Mercury was way ahead of this but I have never seen or paid attention to early Mercury types. This is the one Ford dealers installed on earlier Fords also like my 1946 Ford and I have this type now on my 1937 Ford. Made for Ford by Essex wire or RBM right here in my hometown,wish I could find someone who has a case of them stashed somewhere. They show up on Ebay all types of condition and prices.
