You are purchasing one new reproduction Briggs & Stratton ignition switch as used on all 1936-1947 Harley-Davidson big twin and 45 models.  I've been in this business for many years and would never sell the reproduction ignition switches because they were constructed like junk and they were an obvious re-pop at a casual glance.

This is for one ignition switch with a black enamel finish.  The contacts are set for 1936-1946 models using the skull and cat eye dash bases.  The contact plate can be reversed for later dash bases.  Black would have been considered the correct finish during WW-II years, I believe so roughly 1943-1946.  Please check your own reference materials to make certain.

I've included photos next to an NOS WWII era switch for comparison and another photo with it inside the hole on a three light dash to show it does fit properly and not leave a huge gap.

This switch not only uses current production Briggs & Stratton keys and tumbler but it actually has the shape of the original switches, and the flip top is finally shaped correctly with a downturn where you lift it.  There might be details an AMCA judge would pick apart at a very close glance so this might not be for you purists going for a 100 point restoration.

The terminal plate is oriented with three terminals to the front and two to the rear as was done from 1936-1947.  It has the 1936-1947 style tumbler with the pins and key code stamping.  It will fit any fat bob dash H-D used from 1936 to 1967 on Knucklehead, UL, WL, Panhead, and Shovelhead but is considered correct due to the terminal ring or plate orientation with the three terminals toward the front and two toward the back.

We do sell the same switch with the terminals oriented with three facing the back and two forward for use with 1947-1967 dash plates for 1948-1967 models on another listing.  We also sell these in chrome and brass finishes.

Sure it's made off shore, I'm willing to bet the switch on your late model H-D is too.  I wouldn't sell it if I didn't think it would hold up and didn't look like an original part.

Used on the following:
  • 1936-1947 61' & 74" OHV EL, FL Knucklehead
  • 1937-1947 74" & 80" flat head U, UL, UH, ULH
  • 1937-1947 W, WL, WLD 45" solo
