carolinajeepman Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 I am in need of a shift indicator needle for the column shift 1986 comanche. I cannot find exactly what they look like because mine is missing but it appears to be held on by a 7mm bolt on the top of the steering column. Let me know if you have one you’re willing to let go.

carolinajeepman Posted May 13 Author Share Posted May 13 No I don’t think it does. I can double check after work though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The86manche Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 I feel like one from an s10 could work too. Late 80s early 90s. I could be wrong but it is the same column. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The86manche Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 So i looked at my 86 column and I understand what you are looking for now. Are you looking for original? I could probably 3D print the little piece Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
