MGG good advice! I just came in from the garage, was CAREFULLY taking it apart so i would know how it all went back together, and of course it all fell into my hands in pieces. As a matter of fact I came in to get a piece of tape to hold it all together to put it back on, it is kind of tricky otherwise I see what you mean. After monkeying with it for about 20 minutes I too thought of the tape trick.

I was hoping to find that pivot doo hinky broken but everything looks fine. I took some emory cloth and dressed the contacts a bit but they really are OK.

There was that metal tab with the tang that fell down with the switch in my hand, I think I have that figured out how it goes back on, by the paint overspray and all from when the truck was restored. I'm guessing the tab part goes away from the on-off pivot arm. Thanks fellows!!
