Wondering if anyone has a rebuild kit for a ‘25 ignition switch they’d be willing to part with? I’ve got the panel and ammeter, along with the switch itself and the key tumbler, but the internal cylinders of the switch are toast and I don’t have a backing plate... Everywhere I go online to buy, they’re out of stock. I’d also have potential interest if you had a complete ignition panel assembly w/ keys.
Thanks in advance!

Re: Looking for ‘25 Ignition switch (parts or whole panel)
When looking for parts esp the backing plate you need to say if it is pin or tab type. The tab type has 3 tabs that bend over and hold the backing plate in place, the pin type has 3 pins in the backing plate and fit into notches in the housing. Are you saying the tumbler is also out of stock? Just so you know, the No 55 has been the only replacement for a number of years.
I know the voices aren't real but damn they have some good ideas!

Re: Looking for ‘25 Ignition switch (parts or whole panel)
Thank you John Zibell for Mr. Ben Martins information. I have been looking for someone to repair my ignition switch for a long time. Spoke to Mr. Martin, super nice gentleman. His father was from my neck of the woods and we had a wonderful long conversation. Brett, if you need a new key and tumbler set I have an extra one. Frank
