Hello, I am currently working on the ignition system for a 1951 Ford Tudor and am completely missing the internal quarter-turn ignition switch retainer collar. As you know, the 1951 passenger car setup uses the spring-loaded, 90-degree twist-lock layout rather than the threaded bezel nut found on the '49 and '50 models. Since these aren't widely reproduced on their own, I am looking to source a clean original factory take-off or a New Old Stock (NOS) piece that will correctly lock the switch to the back of the dash assembly. Do you happen to have a loose retainer collar available in your inventory bins, or perhaps a rough parts car you could pull one from? Please let me know availability and pricing shipped to Alabama.

I think what you are looking for is P/N 1A-11580-A. That number was superseded to P/N B9A-11580-A. The 49-59 parts book refers to it as an "inner" bezel. I don't show a source unfortunately.

Hello, I may have what you are looking for. I tried to PM you, but your PM was disabled. If you could post a picture (if you have the old part) that would help. I'll try to post a picture later on. Regards, Pat (937-218-1932) This message was edited by Model B on 10-12-26 @ 2:55 PM
