A few days ago there was a thread about removing the silver turn signal
lever in a 65. I have a similar but opposite problem: mine will not stay
on! It never falls of; it only loosens slightly. I have to turn it tight
at least once a drive. I am planning on getting a new one because it has
some rust spots on it, but I just wondered if there was a screw that held
it in place or something.

Brendon,

No set screw or anything that holds in in. Mine does the same thing. Been
doing it for twenty years actually. Kind of a personality of the car I
guess. I would imagine that you could either put a bit of Teflon tape on
the threads or even a bit of non-hardening Loctite to keep it in place.

A drop of low strength Loc-tite (#222 or #242 threadlocker) will keep it on
and still allow you to remove it at a later date without having to apply
heat.

I find it most comforting to do it while I'm eating my lunch and talking on
my cell phone. (Just kidding!)
