1972 ignition key buzzer switch

[Hank H.]

Looking for an ignition key buzzer switch for a 1972 with tilt/tele column. Any ideas? thanks

they are not reproduced. Best bet is eBay or the Driveline.

I purchased one from Doc Rebuild 3 years ago - paid somewhere around $100 for it.

Hank,
Is it a GM7811093? If so Paragon has one #14852 at $50.00

There are members that rebuild GM steering columns and may have spares, that is how I
got the spring clip for mine. Good Luck.

be really careful what you buy.

The GM switches - that they say are for tilt/tel - are not long enough and are made from a completely different material. plus they are slightly fatter on the outward facing end.

I made this mistake - I had my original as a comparison and the ones that seem to be on ebay and other places are WRONG.

Your switch is made from a clear hard plastic (polycarbinate).

Take the time to look for the correct one.........

Thanks to all for the good tips. Actually I found switches at Dr. Vette and at Corvette Steering. Found a local customer of Corvette Steering (Riks Corvette parts) in Morganton, NC and drove to pick one up today. Since I had the original part I compared carefully to the repro. At least dimensionally, they are an exact match. Haven't installed in the column yet but am optimistic for good results. I was told that several had been sold by Riks and all had worked. Thanks again.
