Anyone identify this part?

This piece is connected to the wiper switch in the steering column and the little metal switch on the turn signal switch, it's broke and I'm having the dandiest time trying to figure out what it is called or what I need to buy to get this piece. HELP!

It looks like the pivot for the turn signal stalk (for the dimmer function). It's part of the wiper/washer switch. I don't think it's available separately.

I just bought the wiper switch and it didn't come with it, nothing I can find seems to include it, which is why I assumed it was something separate.

If yours is broken just take one out of a similar year steering column from a junk yard.

Unfortunately, the junkyards near me are pretty good about stripping most stuff before throwing it out on the lot. I've checked a few times and the steering columns are usually gone. If I could even find a picture of the damn piece, I think I might be able to try to find someone to 3d print one possibly. Even that is coming up fruitless.

Cool!
That site has all the goods for steering columns.
A bit pricey tho!

I found them when looking for the cover piece near the turn signal.
Expensive at $25 bucks for a piece of plastic!

Okay so I'm back, "oh joy", I know. Anyone have any ideas how to get the teeth lined back up on the ignition cylinder?
