The switch is fastend with two wood screws. The inportant part is there enough room for the switch to fit were it goes and a grove in the wood for the wire. My 29 it was about a inch to 1 1/4" apart.

Original dome light switch plate mounting screws are one and one-half inches ( 1-1/2" ) apart. Reproduction switch plates are not correct in size or appearance. The mounting screw distance on the reproduction switch is not the same as an original switch plate, but can be modified to fit. I do not have on hand the reproduction parts to measure. I have an original restored switch plate available. If you are not particularly concerned about originality and only want function, you can make the reproduction parts fit.

I found one of the reproduction switch plates and the mounting screw distance is one and three-eights inches ( 1-3/8" ).
