I found that a shaft from a 70 Mustang headlight switch was slightly larger, and worked very well after cutting it to the correct length. No more problems with coming out of the switch. - Winford Rister McKinney Texas 54F100(in progress) ______________________________________________ FREE Personalized Email at Mail.com Sign up at http://www.ford-trucks.com//lc/lc.php?action=do&link=http://www.mail.com/?sr=signup ------------------------------ From: Ray or Fran Bell Subject: Headlight Switch Date: Fri, 9 Jun 2000 20:22:09 -0400 Thanks for the helpful responses .. glad to know I'm not alone. My "pull out" problem happens with a new "matched set" switch and shaft. I don't have my switch or shop manual handy, but I'm pretty sure the comment about "spring pin" does not apply to '48 through early '50's (me). Ford must have recognized the problem and in late -50/51+ came up with the "spring release pin" method to hold the light knob shaft. Gee .... I wonder if I can find a recall notice and take it to my local dealer? Below is an off-line suggestion I want to share. The "square shoulder" is good advice. I might try to make my notch a little bit deeper. "I would examine the notch that holds the stem in. The latch in the switch needs to get full engagement in the notch and needs a SQUARE shoulder to hold to. Look at the stem and see if the shoulder edge is rounded off, letting the latch cam out of the slot. You might could take a 3 cornered file and with some careful work, fix your problem. If you have a discard switch to take apart and see the nature of the latch mechanism it would be helpful toward reshaping the stem notch.---Stuart" "ps- do not file too deep and have the tip break off." RAY ------------------------------ From: FiftySevenF100 aol.com Date: Sat, 10 Jun 2000 21:29:25 EDT Subject: Howard's effie Howard, Just reading my latest Classic Trucks magazine (where I do most of my reading) and I saw Howard Tarnoff's blue 55. I guess you decided not to sell it. If you are still out there Howard, still a great looking truck!
