Re: Dash Hole

OK - No suggestions so I managed to fix things without them. I filed a small notch out of the dash hole lip about 1/8 inch wide and about 1/8 inch deep and clocked at about the 5-O'clock position. I also used a small hand held roto tool to remove a small amount of material from the notched retaining ring inside diameter opposite if the flat part of the "D" shape so it would slip along the shaft part of the ignition switch (Previous Pic, Left column second row). I first screwed on the backing nut (a light sheet metal rectangle shaped clip nut looking thing to adjust the depth at the front see the previous pic left column first row item) and then slipped the clocking ring with the nub at the 5-O'clock position on the shaft with the nub protruding through the filed notch and then pushed the switch into the hole from the back side of the dash. I placed the Bezel on the front side and tightened it up and then returned the key cylinder into the ignition switch. All is well now.
