If it is repro switch housing and bail wire from what I've read from others the fit is not good and just have to keep working the bail wire until it fits/works properly.

Spider tabs should be at 6 and 12 which will match slots in switch plate.

thanks every one for your help on this.

I removed the spider and turned it to make it run up and down direction
rather than horizontal and it slides now into bail fine

fredski thanks goose
