Ignition Switch
 

2 Attachment(s)
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/4417...ition-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.

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.
