hi, i'm taking apart the dash on my 67 to do some repainting and sprucing up but i can't get the ign. switch to unscrew all the way. any trick to it?
also anyone have any decent bezels they can part with?
thanks in advance,
neil

Neil,
did you remove the "guts" of the switch (part that key actually fits in) prior to unscrewing the nut/bezel?

no i did not. and do i need the key to accomplish that?

Thanks Brian , I will go try that if I don't get interrupted by a call. Neil

Neil,
you need the key in the ignition, and a straightened out paper clip to push into the little hole. If I remember right, you turn the key ccw(I think) at the same time you push on the paper clip in the hole. The guts of the switch will come out and then the bezel nut will come all the way off. Hope it works ok for you.

thanks a bunch Brian, I didn't bring my keys with me so I'll try it tomorrow. You know i've always wondered what that hole was for; now I know. I'l give you an update in a couple days.
thanks again
