New old stock toggle tips or 'handles' as Ford called them. Fits 1968 Mercury Cougar XR7 models.
Ford part number C8WY-13B760-A.
Do not put excessive force on the shaft as you may damage the switch internally. These absolutely will not fit the smaller shafted 1967 XR7 switches.
There are three versions of shafts used on the 1967 - 1968 XR7 dash toggle switches and all three feature the same C7WB-13713-B engineering number. There is a 1967 switch with a large shaft, 1968 with smaller shaft and 1968 with a small shaft that has been milled down on two sides. The reason Ford decreased the size of shaft in 1968 was to enlarge the thickness of the plastic on the toggle tips. By decreasing the size of the shaft this increased the amount of material surrounding the shaft. This makes the 1968 toggle tip design less likely to break.
