Title: 1967 Convertible switch picture
Post by: Axlman on October 30, 2014, 02:56:48 PM

Can someone please send me a picture of how the convertible switch is attached to the dash area?
I want to see the screws or nut and bolts if possible.
I cannot tell from AIM exactly what to use to attach properly. Every time I do it works one way and not the other for a bad fit.

thanks
Ken

I'll take some pics later today and post them. The switch is secured with 2 screws mounted to formed speed nuts.

Hi Ken,

  Here are 2 pictures of the switch. I made an error in my prior post about being secured with speed nuts.
In these pictures you can see the screw is secured by the switch body wings (one screw fell under the car when I removed the switch so only one is pictured).
When mounted under the dash, the switch rocker moves with no binding. The connector on the back can only go on one way being it is keyed.
  Let me know if you need any more information.

Good Luck!
Mike

Thank you so much.
The pictures make perfect sense. I have been using every size nut and bolt that would fit.
Never crossed my mind to use a screw:)
The nut on the back of one end or the other interfered and wouldn't work.
This should now be fine.... Off to locate the two screws somewhere in the pile now that I know what they look like.
