    1963 Parking Brake Alarm Switch Installation Issues

    I'm trying to install this switch for a friend of mine and I'm have trouble keeping the interlocking part of the switch engaged while I'm tightening the small bolt that goes through the hole in the picture. When I tighten this bolt, the interlocking part stays in place, however when I go to tighten it to lock it in place, the interlocking section comes loose.

    My thought is that maybe the hole in these pictures is a bit too big and it's pulling one side into the switch at an angle which distorts the "squareness" of the switch.

    A possible solution is to put a bolt in that's the size of the extended hole and re-tap the other side to fit. Other than that......I got nothing!!

    Thoughts on a solution will be appreciated.

    Thanks

    An NOS switch, never installed. Hole looks the same size.

      Can you unplug the switch from the harness and take pictures from all four 'sides' showing the strap, switch plunger, attaching surface and the other half of the bracket?

        Will do as I stop over my friend's house. Harry already gave me a hint on how to straighten the bottom of the switch in order to make it fit.

        Thanks
