I fixed a broken compression collar for the signal and wiper levers using a portion of a hose clamp. It is better than new and not difficult to do. I simply drilled 2 holes and used 2 flush head 4-40 screws and nuts to hold in a portion of a hose clamp. I cut out a section of the hose clamp to replace the side of the compression clamp that broke off. I created a counter bore so that the flush head screws became recessed and did not interfere with the steering column. I also used a hammer to sink the screw head into the holes I drilled into the clamp as well. It took about 30 min and the result is rock solid.
