Hi guys, did the ignition switch on a 29 have special nuts on it like the amp gauge had? Ordering some parts and found the amp gauge nuts but not the ones for switch. Thanks

Yep, you need 3 of those insulated special nuts.

If you use the aftermarket ignition switch then you have to watch that the switch contacts don't touch the gas tank, as they did on my 29 Tudor. I got lucky and just happened to touch the coil and feel it was getting warm right after I reinstalled the instru,ent panel. I had to bend the terminals to the side for clearance.
