lever type keyless ignition switch

[steve-0]

i haven't been able to find anything like this in the civilian market place except maybe the 1933-1934 ford cars but its not worth messing with.
the ford GPW jeeps and the CCKW used one that is pretty close. i have seen them used in a few halftracks and they look great.
Ron Fitzpatrick has these.
if anyone has found something better from a non military parts supplier let me know.

the dash mounting hole is 1" and this switch has 3/4" threads.
it is supposed to fit holes up to 1"

I have seen 2 types of levers that fit to the switch. One with a screw, one without. Anyone have an idea if this
is early vs late feature? Please note that the switch on the right is not an original one.

Looking at getting a keyed version. On the wiring diagram it shows 2 wires but has a ground sign close to one of the wires though. Is the switch grounded and have 2 pos terminals?

Andy the switch has power in and power out. Check this thread may help.

Thats the one i was looking at, the ign switch has 2 wires, but on one of them there is a line to ground.

[spec4don]

Andy, that line shows to ground is a condenser. Which you don't need if your not going to run a radio. So the hot line comes from the ammeter, to the ignition switch, out to the gas gauge, to the coil.

Hope that helps Don G.

Helps alot, thanks Don!

Andy,
If you want a keyed switch then get one with on/off only. there should only be two terminals. That's all you need.

Ok, looking at keyed switches there are different amp ratings. Any ideas as to what amp i need to get?
