    Hey all, I'm looking for a good dash mounted ignition switch. I've been finding a wide range of prices and ***ume quality as well. Whats a good 12v switch thats not a piece of China ****? Where did you find it?...Thanks.

    i hate those universal type switches that come with a "lawnmower tractor" looking key,,,i usually look on ebay and try to find one from a real car to use...

    To hop onto the wagon here...where do you get one that uses something other than a cabinet key? I'd like something that looks more like a car key instead of a thing that unlocks a filing cabinet.

    eBay usually has a good selection of NEW Ford ignition switches.

    The late 60's and early 70's adapt real easy to a rod.

    If you need one for a thick dash check out marine suppliers. I needed one to go through a 1" piece of wood.
