Ignition switch mounting nut

Anyone know of a supplier for the chrome nut that holds the ignition switch in the dash on vehicles made before they were mounted in the column (60-early 70's)?

Re: Ignition switch mounting nut

Post a pic of which switch you are using. A O.E.M. 60's-70's van/truck style, a tri 5 stile with the nut cover or a universal?

Re: Ignition switch mounting nut

This is the nut I need. It's for a GM switch. The nut I have is the right size but the threads are a little different.

Re: Ignition switch mounting nut

What you have is probably a universal ignition switch similar to one of these (several choices) https://www.google.com/search?q=univ...w=1047&bih=445

Re: Ignition switch mounting nut

You are first class! What are the chances of a guy in Pennsylvania needing a small obsolete part and a guy in California has one in his pocket and they connect.
Thanks
