The arm for the wiper switch coming out of the steering column in my '73 has been cut away. You can see that in the photos. Will this be hard to fix? Where can I source one?
  Thank you! |

I can't believe I'm dredging up my own 5 year old thread. And I still haven't gotten this done. What have I been doing?!
Lately I've been trying to work on the steering column - replace the wiper switch at last, add the lead for the electric washer pump, rekey the ignition lock, and put in a new ignition switch. None of it has gone smoothly. Regarding this wiper switch... I bought the one @Valy referenced in this thread: wiper switch differences My question is about this copper/brass tab in the corner. My original damaged switch I'm removing from the car does not have it so I have nothing to go on. This replacement switch from CIP looks to have all the bits and pieces but is not of the same quality - this z-shaped copper tab is not permanently installed and will not stay put whatsoever. When installed, is this z-shaped tab supposed to remain in contact with the inside copper leaf with the pad on it? Or, how should it be set up? I'm trying to determine how much bending, grinding, and cutting I need to do to get this z-shaped tab installed so it will stay in place. Has anyone already solved this issue for this part?  It's been years since I purchased this replacement switch. I'm trying to determine if ti is worth pursuing making it work or finding a better solution.   Thank you! |
