I was just starting to install a turn signal set up on a 1996 Club Car and found that it has a plastic steering column cover ( Black Plastic ) that is loose and and I am wondering how to fix it so signal switch will stay in place?
This is the first Club Car I have worked on that didnt have a shiny metal cover and the first loose one as well.
Anyone have an easy fix for me?

Drill a hole thru one of the slots in the hose clamp thru the plastic and into the metal tube. Put in a sheet metal screw. Then you will have a ground too.

Remove the black plastic cover, polish the hell out of the column, install the signal switch, trim down the snap on wire cover so it does not cover up all of your polishing and attach it to the bottom of the column with good 3M double sided tape. Im doing the same thing to mine, Ill post pics this weekend sometime.

Holes drilled at the top and bottom of the tube, rubber grommets, wires inside the tube, KY on the column, tube slipped over. And just like magic, no wires.
The wires hanging loose are for the tach.

Yes, I just got a rubber grommets and drilled a hole at the top with a stepped drill until the grommet fit. Be careful because when drilling into a tube, the hole is not the same size as it would be on a flat.
Anyway, the turn signal and tach wires enter at the top, where you see them, and exit the tube under the dash. I put a grommet on the lower end too.

Why couldn't you cut the plastic cover short of the the turn signals? That way, you would clamp the turn signal switch on the metal column.
