BE ignition switch install???

[smaceng]

Hi all,
So I was so set to finish my instrument panel install tonight, but could not get the ignition switch to fit tight against the dash. I have a new/old stock switch, but not the spring clip. I thought I was going to use a small radiator screw clamp, but the switch is still loose. Anyone have a clip they would like to find its way to a good home? Or any ideas how to rube it some other way?
Thanks,

mabe, use one of these in conjunction with your hose clamp.

think you must have the correct clip.

This is what I came up with. Two rubber o-rings, with the small screw clamp (Moss)for the steering rack boots. The o-rings allow enough spring so the clamp fits tight and the whole assembly seems OK. We will see. A lot easier to change it now than later!!!!Dash install tomorrow!
