Default Re: Nu-Rex popout look alike ignition switch

Yes, the Nu-Rex switch is good. Very well made.

On some old reproduction instrument panels, the back of the switch contacts the gas tank because the shape of the panel is wrong. This is clearly not good.

The Nu-Rex switch has a mounting collar held by a very small set screw. You can loosen the set screw and turn the mounting collar 1/2 turn or 1 turn or whatever you need to have the switch not contact the gas tank, then tighten the set screw back up and carry on. I like this adjustability that is built in.

I also put a couple of strips of electrical tape on the gas tank behind where the switch will mount, as added protection against the switch contacts touching. No one sees the tape.
