How does the knob/lever end with the 90 degree bend stay inside the switch? The book shows how the car switch assembly works, but not the truck. | | |

I bought a 46 light switch but it has no lever. I' must make one and I am looking for details? Thanks. | | | | | | OLTrucks Unregistered | | OLTrucks Unregistered | lever? by chance do you mean rod? A 1946 could use a stright rod with knob or the erlier switch used a rod with a 90deg bend to rotate the switch plate inside the unit. either one of these can be found used and you just add a new reproduction knob.

The nut that holds the switch to the dash has a long sleave the when threded into place dose not alow the 90deg tail to come out of the switch.

Does that just push the 90 degree bent rod against the sleeve? Now the fun part how to make the sleeve! I have the(a) front dash bezel probably out of 47-53. | | |
