WTB 19-20 ignition switch

Post by Model T Mark » Mon Mar 25, 2024 8:39 pm

I’m looking for a really good or perhaps a new old stock ignition switch with the heavy cast light switch handle. We are struggling with broken pot metal parts. This is the last part needed to complete the restoration of a high point show car. It’s a Canadian export to Australia. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Mark Eyre/Ralph Boyer. Contact me through this website.

I really need the contacts on the back side that are good enough to use. It the right switch Handel though.

You need to show the parts you need. There were many manufacturers & even variations by them. I have some parts for the odd ones. The four rivets on the face of the switch points to a "Clum" manufactured switch (but could be another as well). There are a few different versions of the parts used for Clum & the repro parts don't work on them. So....
These are two different "Clum" switches for Model T's & neither yours with a cast handle

My guess is that you want to have one like this

This shows two different cast handles

I’ll take it apart and get some pictures. I knew there were several and the one I’m looking for is the one that has the large plate secured by two acres at the bottom that attaches it to the plate. Ours is so warped it doesn’t make good contact with the dim side. I have filed it flat and can’t do anything more to make it useful.
