If you are reusing an old worn reproduction switch, IMHO you should bite the bullet and buy the Snyder's pricey switch that is made to the ford drawings. Also get a couple matching bails as the repo one won't fit the good switch. This worked for me last summer. I threw the old stuff in the garbage.

I also had to replace the contact disk with one of proper thickness. You can get one from Tyree Harris. It will be very near (.315???) thick. My light switch works as it should now.
