Pieters; the "antique-style" ignition switch I had in mind is something like the one shown at http://www.avweb.com/newspics/182724pie ... _panel.jpg and I guess from the description it is the "Dixie" type. No one making replicas?Oscar ZunigaSan Antonio, TXmailto: taildrags(at)hotmail.comwebsite at http://www.flysquirrel.net________________________________________________________________________________

The one in the references photo is a Bendix Scintilla mag switch from thelate 30's or early 1940's. The Dixie Switch, like any really old switch,is made to mount to the front of a wooden panel so doesn't have the fourears for screws to go through so it can mount behind the panel. As Kipsaid, Frank Pavliga makes replicas of the Dixie Switch which are nice anduse the guts from a modern switch. Really old switches are as rarte ashen's teeth.GeneOriginal Message:-----------------
