I ran across this today. I can't find the thread on Ford using these so I thought I would post it. It seemed they were used in production but then my memory......

That is the switch that came on my 1920 Runabout:
"Remember son, there are two ways to do this: The right way, and your way” Thanks Dad, I love you too.

Re: Ford/Yale locking switch
I used the Yale locking switch on a late 13-14 coil box. Not sure if its period correct but I like the looks of it on my 14.

Re: Ford/Yale locking switch
The cases are both magnetic. Alan's remark (Thank You) made be polish the AutoLock - definitely Nickle finish. Its also thicker steel and heavier than the Black ones. The Defender is chrome, color of finish and started to peal in one spot
