Item wanted is the shift position indicator for a 1956 Mercury with a Merc-A-Matic transmission. This indicator fits on the steering column and is made of plastic. The small missing part of the indicator holds a slide switch for the horn. Apparently pressing too hard on the horn ring breaks the old brittle plastic.Have attached a photo of the damaged inticator

Gary I have a complete steering shaft with tube from a 56 merc,i will check it in the next couple days to see if the part you need is not broken Carl
 
Carl:
You're right the indicator for a 55 is different than a 56. Don't know about the Fords, maybe someone that has a Ford will let us know. The Ford-A-Matic and the Merc are basically the same Trans so maybe the Ford indicator is the same. Again Carl thanks for looking, I really appreciate it.

Gary The Ford will not work it is entirely different,i will send you a PM and give you the name of a guy that probably has the one you need Carl
 
Still looking for the Shift Indicator at a reasonable price. Received one reply but way more than this old man can afford, so if someone has one at a reasonable price let me know.
