Guessing you've tried the parts store? I needed one for my 87 and Napa had one. I however do not have radio controls on the wheel.

yeah, everyone's got the standard cam without the radio controls. I think the cam I'm looking for is discontinued and the brass rings have broken through, causing the contact pins on the turn signal switch to get trapped in the broken hole and break off when the wheel was turning.

unfortunatly your best bet is the local jyard. i called about 100 different shops and even at one time aquired the testor for this piece to check them before i got them out of the yard. 99% of them are gone and it would be really hard to get another made with the correct diodes and copper plates. What i have done to move away from this setup is getting the upper 1/2 shaft from a 94 firebird with air bag controls. You swap in your ignition key selinoid and wiper switch and use the turn signal switch from the new setup. Then cut out the air bag connectors line and splice in the steering wheel connections on both ends of the electronic wire. It will never need to be replaced again and you wont have to worry about that stupid part. It looks stock and it does move the steering wheel about 1/4" closer to you but 99% of the population would never know the difference. Also if you are that far into your steering column make sure you tighten the 4 allen bolts past the tilt ball assembly to ensure your steering column will not wobble. I found all this information out when i was retrofitting one of theses setups into my fiero.
