American Auto Wire should be ashamed of themselves. I will no longer recommend them to anyone. Wrote them and read them the riot act for shipping a 61-up dimmer in a 47-55 and 55-59 kit. The answer was they are a restomod kit and THEY decided that a switch that mounts the switch body in the engine bay is too susceptible to the environment. Even though the original switches have lasted that way a long time.
I explained that restomod does not mean a switch that will bulge the carpet or mat and will be too high for our foot. It does not mean shipping a switch and leaving it up to a customer to figure out how to add spacers. There is absolutely no reason to knowingly ship a switch that can not be used. Their excuse was crap and the real reason is so they can buy one switch part number in huge bulk. They know this switch is wrong and don't care. I can not do business with a company like that when it is so simple to ship the correct available switch. To pay $600 for harness to get quality and completeness, and then get a part that they know won't work is ridiculous. I am sorry I recommended AAW.
I urge everyone to stay away from them until I get a message back from a vice president. I only was able to email a sales hack so far. If I never hear from management, that will further their shame.
It may seem a small issue but for me it involves advertising a super quality kit, the highest cost on the market, and then have a stupid, lying reason for a wrong dimmer switch. Not just wrong, but unusable. The switch they are shipping is made to fit into a sunken "pocket" that is built into the toe board in 60/61 and up.
