[T3] Directionals Question

[Dave Hall]

Oops - no - the lever is still on the left on RHD cars.  Senior moment on my
part - probably how I put the wheel back 180 degrees out previously.  We are
agreed that the turn signal must be centred, or the tab just breaks
something as you put the wheel back, so I'm only half wrong this time.  The
medicine must be half-working.   ;-)

Is it possible that RHD car has the TS switch on the right? If so, then I
think it makes sense that your cancelling tab, on the wheel, needs to be on
the left.

[RHD cars in Japan have the TS switch on the right, which often led us
foreigners to signal turns with our windshield wipers. BTDT]

I think with LHD cars, the cancelling tab goes on the right.

Either way, installing the wheel with the TS switched not centered can break
something.
