High Beam Switch
I have just replaced the turn signal lever switch on our 79 vette and are having trouble working out how the plastic piece that sits under lever pivot that works high beam switch locates on column thanks rugger

Here is a page of drawings on the upper end of a T&T column. In Pic #4 you can see the dimmer actuator and the cap.
Here are the instructions:
(1977-82) Install the dimmer pivot to the lock housing cover. (Early dimmer pivots were retained by a long bolt, later pivots used a press fit pin.) Assemble the plastic dimmer rod actuator to the end cap using some heavy grease. The actuator is guided between the end cap and the metal housing and is retained during assembly by the grease on the little square post inside the cap. Without the grease, the actuator is very difficult to hold in place while reassembling the column because the wire rod isn’t exactly tightly fixed in position.
