The Ford Barn

hello,

Awhile back I rebuilt the 7 tooth steering box. I am just now putting it back on and I have forgotten how the switch goes.

I think it is

1. Spider

2. Clip

3. Spring

4. light switch body

5. Then retainer

Does anyone have a diagram?

thanks

spring spider clip body then wire hasp clamping it all together.

spring keeps light rod down, dont forget the upper bushing inthe steering wheel end. run a ruler or yardstick over the horn button/rod and under the wheel to keep it down while forcing spring and spider and clip together.

I got the spider installed but for the life of me I cant get the bail to hold the switch on.

Can someone post a pic of theirs maybe I am putting it on wrong?

This is the picture I tried to show in post #3.
Some of the bails are longer than others.
