  Good point Silver.
  the cancel switch is still to be explored. I do know that the shaft will be a trial an error. I have been looking for visual indicators or a master spline key to join the two. I'll be well versed in this task afterwards. I'll also start from center and find the difference in turns then make adjustments from there.
   It will be nice to turn the wheels from the steering wheel again after 25 years.

Mine is misaligned by a DPO. Assuming your indicators are on the right stalk, I believe the bit that sticks out from the column should be in the 3 o'clock position when the wheel/rack is centred - 9 o'clock if the stalk is on the left.

I'm  not sure  but  if you have a centre horn push you might also need some wire to bridge the coupling that joins the column to the rack, to give better ground continuity too.

I managed to get mine set to cancel  right turns but not left. A winter project.

The "cancel clip" can be moved.

Cool to see the metamorphosis of a thread.
Move the cancel cam I'll see if I can do that.
Thanks John

I'll have to have another look at mine then as I couldn't move mine (UK Special which should be the same as S2 I believe). It seemed to have a peg on the clip that I assumed located into a hole on the upper column.

Maybe some and some don't, early vs late sort of thing.

  I looked for a cancel clip on the shaft, none to be found. However I did see a small 1/4” indent where a clip could attach . It was in direct alignment with the tabs .
If you’re in there, please take a picture. I hope one is available from the usual vendors.

I’ll be needing one ,
