Default Steering shaft play/ turn signal switch

I am working on a customers ERA which has quite a bit of radial play in the steering shaft at the steering wheel. The upper nylon bushing is in place and appears to be in good condition. No wear on the shaft, just a lot of clearance between the two. Someone posted about shimming this bushing, I believe it was DanC? Can you describe where/how you shimmed?

Also the turn signal lever cancels too easily, have to hold the lever as you turn the wheel so that it doesn't cancel. The lever does latch, but very lightly. It does not take much force to cancel. Is there a fix, or just purchase a new one? Source of these switches for Cobras are all the same?

Thanks, Wolfgang
