Hazard Mounting tab broken

Just when I thought I was finished with the electrical work, something else pops up.

After getting a new hazard switch (the part you push/pull to activate the hazard blinkers), when I tried using the switch, I noticed how loose and wiggly it became. Took it back out, and the tab it mounts to on the inside of the column was broken.

Now my main question is, is this repairable or will I have to take the column apart or replace it? This is really becoming a pain in my you know what, all for turn signals.


Thanks guys, any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the help guys....


Anyways, it was part of the turn signal switch. I found some of the instructions on here on how to disassemble the column and put a new switch in. It also fixed a wire short that I had before.
