Hey has anyone had to replace their ignition switch??? Another briliant engineering feat by Ford using snap off heads on the mounting bolts. Does anyone know where I could get two of these and if there is a substitute for them????? Thanks
I believe the thread is 12-24. The screws are 3/8" long. When I did mine I drilled the heads out like a rivet, then slid off the old ignition switch and unscrewed the headless screws with visegrips. Mike's method is a bit more elegant. Plus, you can reuse the old screws!
The replacement screws I got were round head phillips, purchased at OSH.
The bolt is metric and its a #6-1.0 X 10mm......perfect match at home depot on their thread guage apartus....I found it there in a bag of 3 and it fits like a charm!!!!!
