Default Ignition switch cable length




The replacement ignition switch cable that I purchased seems about 2-3" too long because I have to contort the cable housing to install the instrument panel. Should I cut it down and if so what should be used to cut the housing?

The original popout switch 30-31 is 31" long from center of head (at rear cover plate) to the end of the treads on the other end (not including the spring plunger). The presently unavialible repo popout is about 30-3/4" long. A little short of the original. Many of the repo armored housings are much more stiff than the originals, making them harder to install. I would use an abrasive cut off wheel to cut one if it was too long.
