Lack of detent positions for the lights will require an inspection of the light switch at the bottom of the steering column. I advise you to read up on the lighting system before you take things apart.
Enjoy!
Too late....LOL. I completely rewired my model B tudor a decade or two ago (Although I used the stock switch body). I know the system. The bumps in the switch are pretty flat and the wiring disc goes into the body pretty hard, also the bail is too long and doesn't really hold the end in. I read that the snyder's body is pretty accurate but needs some minor modifications? I also need to look in my neighbors barn as there is an old steering wheel and column in the rafters. It might have a switch body on it if I am lucky.

I figured out the floor boards. He had used stove bolts rather than rivets. The supports look original but I think he drilled them wider for the stove bolts so rivets may not work now. I will have a mat over it anyway.
