    Hi all, can you please post pics of your stock dash and tell me if my headlight switch pulls or twists to turn it on. And tell me where to go and order a new one. My switch is rusted in my '61 CJ5.

    Sorry - no pics, but it pulls out. Halfway for parking lights, full out for headlights. Got mine from Kaiser-Willys Auto Supply. Have you tried some penetrating oil or the like? Mine was rusted pretty bad when I got it, but works good now! :)

    Dash looks awesome duke. I like the placement of the other gauges you have there.

    OK, I tried all week and it still hasn't moved so what is you favorite suplier? I was thinking about ordering through Midwest or 4WD.

    I will also recommend Kaiser-Willys. They are local to me and have helped me out a lot with my Jeep and getting the right parts, lending me tools, etc. It's a great bunch of guys over there, with good prices too. Check out their website at http://www.kaiserwillys.com/ or give them a call at 1-888-648-4923. Ask for Mike. :)

    I think the price at Walck's is a bit cheaper ($16.95) for the same switch.

    I picked up a light switch at NAPA. It's just a generic light switch.
