Re: Head Light Switch Retainer???

I broke mine off too. Unless you care about it being 100% original (and its not like you can see it anyway) just get a 1/2 threaded brass fitting, put a washer on it and it will work just like the plastic nut (except it wont break!) I did have to run a next bigger drill bit down it to open it up so the rod could pass through...but that took 30sec and total cost of it was less than $1.
