OK, question for the brain trust-----------and later on, my own particular solution.
How do you deal with mounting holes that need an internal tab in the hole to keep a part from rotating??
Here is an example of what I am dealing with----------this bezel for an ignition switch had a tab,
but when I cut the hole in the panel I just bored through with the unibit, and said the heck with the tab.
I now see the error of my ways, and wish to rectify the error-----------thoughts are to either make an overlay like the switch bezel, but of material strong enough to do the job and rivet it in place, or to make a notch/keyway in the existing hole and make a really small "key" to insert into the notch----the bezel should keep things in place.
What have you done in this situation??
And, no, I am not interested in tossing the key switch and installing toggle switches.
Thanks in advance..............
