custom 300 dimmer switch mounting

jdcurtice · 2017-03-05 21:06

Hi,
Newby...I'm rewiring my custom 300 and I can't find a picture of the dimmer switch mounting. I am guessing that I'm missing a bracket to attach the dimmer switch to.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks, Jim

Take a look at this piece on E-bay. This is where/ how the switch mounts

Jim, are you going to buy the cover from ebay ?
If not - please let me know, as I could make good use of it on my Del Rio.
thx Guenter

Look close...worm holes. JEGJR has new repops.

wouldn't mind that Gary. The one in my Country Sedan looked the same and I was able to save it.

What Gasman is referring to is Jegs Auto parts. I looked it up after tying to figure out what the post was as well. The dimmer mount plate is $42.00 and change. (Jegs.com)

No Sir, Gary was refering to our member JEGJR
That's John E. Gambil JR......the guy who owned the 1957Ford website that James is combining with this forum.
Rich.
When did Jegs start selling '57 Ford stuff? Interesting.

Sorry for my confusion. It's good to know that Jegs has the mounting plate. I have seen several posts where the plate has been inquired about.

Maybe I am totally wrong. I typed in 1957 Ford dimmer switch mount plate and that is what came up. It may well be just for Chevies. Sorry for the misleading information..

Sherman Parts 727-40D
Dimmer Switch Mounting Plate 1955-57 This is what came up when I typed in 1957 Ford dimmer switch mounting plate.

that's the other not-worth-mentioning off brand.

jdcurtice · 2017-03-18 23:32

Sorry, hadn't logged back in. Turns out I have the part in my boxes! I don't need one so if the eBAay part is still there, go for it.
