which ones are you after? I may have a few-one usually has a round plug in and one will have the flat prong plug in

mine is the round plug - The issue i am having is finding one with a big enough diameter to screw in

that could be them - can you post a photo? Ill try to go out and see if i can put a socket on to confirm.
Ran into the same problem with my Canso when putting it back together. Would they be the same? The first ones I bought would not depress all the way in and had a collar like the ones in the pic above. Found the right ones local, will see if I can find the receipt with the part #. Don't think they were the "Standard" brand.

The switches are different animals for sure.
Mike, the rubber outer boots are another story. Have you found a supplier of them?

Not as of yet... I cant find local and am hesitant to order online as i am fearful they will be wrong - I am hoping to call Ames today wit hopes that Bonneville and GP may be the same - have to get some fender aprons anyways.
This is what I have in mine. PICO 9465-BP should be around 5 bucks and should be able to get local. The threads are longer but don't think it matters.. Thread OD is 5/16 and it depresses all the way in. Looks the same as the lower Pontiac Pic.

The collar your referring to pushes in and out of the threaded part of the switch to make the switch adjustable for the
gap in the door jam

Just made it home, these are in my 63.
Why are my parisienne switches different? Note: after some detective work, these are from a 64 Buick Riviera.
