Oh, by the way, when fitting a new reproduction Neutral Safety Switch it pays to hook up the four-pin plug to it first and do it carefully, holding the switch pins with a pair of needle-nosed pliers as you push on the plug.
I didn't do this and bolted the switch to the column before trying to push on the plug - result was I pushed one of the 'pins' into the switch and jammed the slide, luckily no damage but I feel the manufacturers could (a) fix the pins to the switch in a better manner or (b) at least add a note with the switch warning of this potential problem.
BTW Now have to repair/replace the detent on the column, the new switch with the stronger spring causes the shifter to drop from Neutral to Drive too easily and it won't hold the shifter in place in Reverse for the back-up lights to stay on unless you hold the shifter up against the safety switch springs tension.
Fix one problem - find another!!!
PS Thanks for posting a reply Joe.
