I have a problem with the electrical side of the switch. I ordered a new won on eBay but didn't pull it apart till the other day and they look alike except for my switch has the wires sodered to the back and the new has spades for a plug in. Looked online mine is not available. Will the new switch work if I find a plug to fit and wire it? Look like there may be clearance issues or should I cut the spades down and try to sodder the wires to the new switch. Has anyone run into this problem? Thanks Ken

Pretty sure the ignition switch for tilt and fixed are different, my fixed column had the spades on the back for a plug-in design.

Yes that part is diferent but if I cut the spades off and the excess plastic than solder the wires on I think they would be the same. Wonder if anyone has tried this?

I cut the spades off and the excess plastic solder the wires on so far working great!!
