Reply to "Steering Column Issue?!?"

@SCM I suspect the column did slip down or was installed that way , loosen the column tube and see if it will move back to the signal switch leaving 1 /16th inch space so it doesn't rub. If all is intact ( and you've done the other inspections as suggested) then you may be able to loosen the set screw on the signal switch and move that a bit toward the steering wheel to close the gap. BTW I had two steering crush failures ( cracks) on different speedsters , the cracks are difficult to see w/o sanding down to the bare steel keeping in mind most of the columns are 50 plus years old.
