Ignition Switch Connector (or pigtail)

-
As long as the pins are correct don’t care about the clips. This is an A100 and has no clip.
 
  1. Get a paper towel tube.
  2. Cut it to wrap around the ignition switch tight, use a hose clamp and/or tape to hold it on and tight
  3. Take some pam and spray it on the back of the ignition switch and the inside of the cardboard (alternately you could make slits in some plastic that match up with the terminal pattern and place it over the switch)
  4. Put individual connectors on the wires
  5. Put each wire on the correct terminal of the switch
  6. Fill the cardboard tube with high temp silicone and allow to FULLY cure
  7. Remove the card board
  8. Remove the terminals and the silicon
  9. Clean the pam off the parts / terminals etc with alcohol
  10. Reassemble.
 
Starting some work on it. This one has a few obvious mistakes, but the holes line up...

I believe that post #25 is what my '69 looks like.
 
I saw a member on FBBO (JimKueneman) is setting up to make the plastic wire connectors.
 
I'm printing a prototype, but if I put them into production I plan to use polyurethane molding.
 
Shapeways went out of business and deleted all the models. I have the model PM me.
 
Actually you don't really NEED the connector, at least temporarily, if you have some good insulated (or heat shrink) flag connectors. Just individually install them, and be careful not to pull on the harness.
