Ignition Switch

[lwannem]

I recently had trouble trying to install a newly purchased switch from Mac's because it was to deep. I have a very early canadian 28 tudor that seems to have many differences than other early 28's. I found a switch from WAYTEC INC, Chanhassen MN 55317 that fits perfectly.. I've included the specs for this switch. I hope this might help others with this problem.

Since nobody will reply, I guess I will...Thank you for the tip.
I had issue with a switch myself, they can be a booger.

Thanks for the info. I hadn't heard of this supplier but I do get to Chanhassen occasionally. I will have to check it out.
Is this the switch? https://www.waytekwire.com/item/44179/Cole-Hersee-9579-4-Position-Ignition-Switch-/

The link posted above says it needs a 3/4" hole.

Did you let the vendor know of the problem and what you had to do to fix it?

It is a possibility that they will re source the switch to the one you mention if enough people let them know of problems.

Did you have to slightly enlarge the mounting hole in the panel?
This also seems to be a common issue with non-originals.

That's been my experience. I filed the threads a bit on one switch and made it fit the original hole.
I wouldn't screw up original parts to make a misfit part fit.

Yes that is the switch in post # 3 and no I did not have to alter the hole in the dash either. It is good value for the switch.
