>>>The hump goes towards the front, since it actuates the cam on the turn 
signal switch.   There is a small protrusion on the back, which indexes in a 
cutout on the face of the steering wheel hub.   The hub turns the plastic piece, 
which actuates the turn signal switch.

Thus it's important that the hub, and the piece, are aligned properly so that 
the switch will cancel at the appropriate time.   I *think* that is the 9 
o'clock position, but I can't remember exactly.
