Default Ignition Switch Cover Problem

Afternoon all,

My '02 Road King ignition switch will not click closed anymore because the little u-shaped piece of metal has snapped. I've removed the broken piece but need suggestions of how to replace it, I can't see it listed anywhere as a part.

Mu current thinking is to try a small split pin?

Nope, roundy is just looking for the clevis pin that goes inside part#23. I have the same problem but I'll live with it as long as the lid stays shut. Then I have an old ignition switch that I'll exchange the bodies with. Just to lazy right now to pull the center strip apart to do it.

Part number 23 is the electrical connection for the fuel gauge...You mean 21 ?

That post is a great repair, but as 69cj said, its the little pin that goes in the hole that the little spike clips into I need to replace.

I know it can't be purchased, so was wondering if anyone out there has managed to rig a repair.
