The metal ring is not a backing plate. If you want to use that switch, the hole needs to be enlarged just enough to fit the cylindrical part of the switch body. For the mounting tabs, use a small square file to file two 180-degree opposed, square keyways, just enough to fit the metal springs. The switch is then pushed in from the front of the dash.

Removed blank insert on my 65 dash and installed a later model Ford truck washer button that is same in appearance as the other ***** and connected it to the washer dispenser, press the **** and the solution is distributed on the windshield. Anyhow, food for thought?
