Default Re: Ignition switch

Mitch//pa was gracious enough to send me one he got from Tam's Model A. Last time I looked, it didn't show up in their catalog, Mitch told me it was also available with an accessory position, also, but NO key start position. Doesn't look like a "pop out" but has a nice appearance. Haven't installed mine yet, but it IS short & will fit well.
I always glue a leather patch on the gas tank, just behind the ignition switch, just in case ANYTHING "might" ever short out, I do the same behind my junction box, just in case them screw heads "might" ever short out. BY THE WAY, I've seen 3 cases of POOR contact in junction boxes, even when both sets of nuts were TIGHT & NO visable signs of CORROSION!! CLEAN them dudes GOOD & internal star washers are a GREAT help, also. There's NOTHING sophisticated in a junction box, jist a quick & easy place to HOOK/UNHOOK stuff. If your wiring system is decent & you use good quality, solder-on, terminals, rarely will you ever have electrical problems. DON'T EVER use them CHEEP "squeeze-on" terminals!!! I, personally, use jist a tiny drop of RED Loctite on ALL electrical connector screw & nut threads. THE DOG SEZ I'M PARANOID??? BUT, I don't ever want to be stuck 'aside the road with my wiring SMOKIN'!!!!---Bill W.
