Switch clips needed

[Michael Bayer]

Does anyone know a souce for the metal clips that attach to the side of the power window switches and serves to hold the switch in place in the console? They also hold the plastic switch body in the chrome surround, M

I tried (not too successfully) to make some. Count me in for several if you find a source.

These fit on the underside of the switch (4 in all) and spring out to hold the switch in the console.

There are spring shops that do small quantity runs. Might be worth dropping by one with a sample and seeing what a couple of dozen would cost. Here is one shop, local to Kerry: Sound Spring (http://www.soundspringinc.com). Haven't used them myself, but ran across them when I was looking for custom springs for a project. Many more shops can be found on Google.

I made some clips by using clip nut #853 which is for ford headlamp to fender. I had to grind them for sizing and most important to file down lock tab on inside of short tab otherwise it would cause too much pressure on bezel when switch is pushed down into place.

sorry that I have to do these one at a time, I don't have the hang on posting pictures yet, here's a picture with clips installed.

Also I reproduced the plastic body that holds the switch in place that has the pivot point for the switch, as you can see that the pivot point on the plastic body is broken therefore causing the switch to cock and get stuck in operation. If anyone has this problem and would like for me to try to fix it, let me know.
