1957 Pontiac Headlight Switch


So I was trouble shooting some electrical the other night and it lead me to remove my headlight switch in order to do some bench testing.  I opened up the switch and it was spring loaded like a bloody Jack in the Box!!! I have no idea how it goes back together, or if I was able to collect most of the little bits that went flying out of it.  I had a feeling my switch was problematic anyway, but now it definitely is!!!!

Does anyone know where I can get a 57-59 Pontiac specific headlight switch?  I know the Chevy ones are different, and that nobody reproduces a Pontiac one.

Or.....has anyone rewired theirs to work with a 57 Chevy switch?

 

Help me internet....you are my only hope!!!

 

Thanks

Derek

If 57 thru 59 work then there are a couple of 59s at Flatla Auto Wrecking in Tilley, AB
Ask for Dale 403-377-2484

Derek, are you sure that 58 and 59 are the same as a 57 switch. I will PM you the name and phone number of a guy in Toronto that might have a switch for you or know of one. He is Mr. 57 Pontiac and has owned a dozen or more over the years of that fine year of Pontiac. Good luck. George.
