Ignition Switch issue Found great solution

(1/1)

Bud:
My ignition switch has come apart and somewhere in the past someone broke the plastic sleeve that holds everything in place. I phoned RDEnterprises and they don't have a fix for it and suggested that I get on the board and see if anyone else has had this issue and how it can be resolved...any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

So I looked underneath the dash and found that the ignition switch has two plastic parts that are supposed to snap together to hold everything in place but the lower plastic piece was damaged and would hold in place. Now several members suggested zip ties and a good solution but here is one better as it adds flexibility to the strength of the bond. I used a clamp from a fad hose or GEAR  CLAMP which is so much better and is wider so it clamps more. The best option would be to get the two sided clamp and hold both units together. Anyway, just wanted to offer my opinion and hopefully this will help out someone else in the future

I used a tie wrap to hold mine together.

Bud:
That what mine had a well and will probably use something similar. Steve at SJ Sports said that there is a tiny screw that can be used as well and I will look to see if I can find it. If I get it I will post a note and image
Thanx for your help
