What does this stalk switch do?

I have 91 camaro Z28, its been converted to RHD as its in Australia. I have noticed this little stalk behind the indicator stalk but I am yet to work out what it does. Can anybody shed any light on this for me thanks.

I'm not familiar with RH drive cars but it looks like the tilt to me.

Yeah the thing is it has no tilt or movement what so ever, maybe its just there for looks after the conversion. It feels like a micro switch (really little movement and really soft to touch) but no clue. PS The photo is not of mine, just I found it on the net showing the part I want to know about so I used it. This is mine but its a bit blurry and hard to see.

Its for the tilt mechanism.
Try to pull it forward or backwards and see if your wheel tilts.
