48-49 Turn Signal Switch

In the restoration of my 1949 Hudson Super Six sedan, I want to retrofit an original Hudson turn signal switch rather than an after market universal type. I am assuming this retrofit is possible since the manual has instructions for the wiring and wire routing but very little information about the mechanical installation. I am pretty sure the switch screws into the "control lever tube bracket - upper" on the underside of the steering column. However, my original upper control lever tube bracket has a single horizontal screw that clamps the bracket to the column. The turn signal switch has two vertically oriented screws that would likely screw into a different upper control lever tube bracket with mating screw holes that effectively clamps everything together around the steering column. Do I have this right? I've never seen any installation instructions nor have I seen any reference to this special upper control lever tube bracket that the switch screws into. If anyone has any details about how this works I would be very appreciative. Pictures of an original installation would also be great. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

Hi
Currently doing the same to my 52 Wasp yes the mounting hardware is different. For the cancelling pins I tapped out the holes on back of steering wheel using a 4mm tap and used 35mm screws limited in then cut the heads off. Works perfectly.
Sorry about metric measurments but I am based in Australia.
