Here's a picture of the one on my 39 Zephyr. It's basically the same.

I'm not sure, but I think they are the same or very similar for 32 thru 40.

Just the metal container, the movable contacts and the terminal plate. Take it all off the steering drop assemble the three parts together and then reassemble on the steering drop with the (2) 8-32 counter sink head screws.
