Default Tilt/Tel Column

I am swapping a tilt/tel column for my standard column. I changed the ignition switch since it works in the opposite direction of the standard ignition switch. As a result of that swap, I now have to switch the two wiring harness plugs that go into the switch. The plugs fit but do not have the catch or lock to hold them in securely. Are the plugs available or needed? Any suggestions would be appreciated

Thanks, Charlie

Something isn't right. The body harness plugs should snap into the ignition switch regardless if it is a standard or T&T column. If I remember correctly the latch tabs are on the bottom (between the switch and the column) on the T&T column switch. They are on the top when you reverse the plugs and snap them into a standard switch.

Jim is correct they will fit upside down and they only go in one at a time one goes kinda over the other and are clipped in where you cant see very well between the switch and column. You are just looking at it funny I did the same thing on my secong swap it kinda scared me
