Why wouldn't you just wire in some toggle switches until your switch assembly is returned? It is very easy to do.

Hi David,
I have a proper new reproduction ignition switch for you that I bought off of Lang's last year if you are in a bind. I also have the new bezel ring that is required for the reproduction ignition switch, as well as the improved lighted amp gauge that includes a needle that won't bounce. Feel free to call me on my cell to discuss.
Kind Regards,

Why not try the classifieds, or ebay.

Have you tried Fordbarn? They have classifieds for T parts.

Well,
I guess you don't want the ignition switch assembly very bad. I have been sitting next to my cell phone all morning long and you never called. Please read the thread, see my response to help you and call if you are in need.
Kind Regards,

If you already have a switch coming, I second the idea of a toggle switch from the local auto parts store while you wait. I believe they're around $5. You want a three-position switch: OFF, BAT, and MAG. If you intend to use the lights just add another: OFF, BRIGHT, and DIM, and an OFF-ON toggle for the tail light
The inevitable often happens.

I wouldn't even bother with hooking up the mag, just off/on battery supply. By the way I sent an Email with another Ebay listing. If you want head and tail light, I would just add another off/on switch, hook the tail light and dim side to one terminal and power to the other.

For now I would just run a jumper to ground on the generator so it does not burn out if you chose to go that route.
I know the voices aren't real but damn they have some good ideas! :shock:
