About a year ago I went to upstate New Jersey to buy some K parts. I was hoping to get some switches. He did not have any. Ritchie about 10 years older than me said back in the 70's being the rarity of these switches they used 49-53 chevy truck switches, they have ears on and not a threaded stem with knurled nut. I recently looked at some on the internet they seem like they would work and give the appearance of a stock switch when you slide the flipper over. Has any of you ever tried these? Just thought I would share this.

The switches I came up with sit in stock location and completely under the tin with just the top of the tumbler showing like stock when done. I am having brackets made for direct fit. Also boomerangs for those needing stock ones I now have them. Erik K
