1956-1957 wiper control switch body dimensions

[Edward M.]

Hi all;

Referencing the attached picture, I wonder is anyone can tell me the dimensions for the measurements marked A, B, and C.

I know the cable length is 35 inches, what I need are the dimensions / measurements of the control body that attaches to the dash.
Measurements with a vernier caliper would be great, if that is possible.

For example,

A = 1.772 inches (housing length)
B = 2.022 inches (housing width)
C = 0.150 inches (thread depth)

OK, what do you see for a correct 1956 / 1957 wiper cable control?

Hi, Ed,

My Nov '56 built car has:

A=1.344 (much shorter than your picture)
B=2.022
C=approx .20 (hard to judge distinct limits of thread

Apparently different length from yours. Hope this helps.
