Van Neutral Safety Switch ?
Got a tilt steering column out of a gm van. Just Wondering what the correct neutral safety switch would be. The sliding tab seems too short to go in the slot in the column

The terminals for the wire connectors are different on the van than the trucks so you will have to use the one for the truck if you already have a NSS on your column. LockDoc

Sorry for the misinformation about the switches. I guess you could use either one if you have to cut a new hole lower on the column. You would still have to change connectors if you use the van switch. LockDoc

Got The Switch. You Guys Wouldn’t Happen To Know The Screw Size That Holds It Down?
I See Guys Saying #6 x 3/8 But That Looks Like It’ll Slide Right Through The NSS Tab Holes Posted via Mobile Device |

I think the original screws have a built in washer on them. LockDoc

Re: Van Neutral Safety Switch ?
Here are some measurements of the original screw style. It's a "B" type tapping sheet metal screw with a hex drive and a built-in washer.
Thread Diameter = .187" (#10) Thread Pitch = 16 tpi Thread Length = 5/16" Hex Drive = 1/4" You'll probably be able to find something like this at a hardware store: https://www.mcmaster.com/92525A550/ |

Re: Van Neutral Safety Switch ?
Related question.
Motorhome column in old blue has no neutral switch. Wire is jumpered. Do those have a provision for the switch?
