Fuel tank selector switch

[73 Chevy1]

I have a 78 Chevy truck. I bought a new selector switch and bezel but can figure out how to mount it. It appears the holes the bezel snaps into is to loose? Are the holes too big? It was fine when I took out the old one. Will not fit snug is there supposed to be a clip on the back or something that holds it into the dash?

Will the new switch work in the old bezel?

I broke the old bezel both parts new

Good question. I wonder if you got the correct switch, the plugs are different tho. Do you have the actual wire plug or do you just have crimped female connectors on it in the correct place?

The switch plugs in and works fine it’s the bezel that doesn’t hold the switch in place when you align it in the two holes. Seems like the holes are to big or the bezel little plastic things are to small

Is it possible to get pictures of the parts?

This is my switch and bezel

Does the switch fit in the dash good? Problem is with the bezel? Sometimes Aftermarket don't fit like it should

Switch is fine I will have to try another bezel the one I got was from lmc maybe classic has something different

I had similar issues with other car switches in the past.....wound up cutting thin strips of black tape and wrapping the bezel to make it fatter and to fit tight.

Aftermarket 'fit' is a pig in a poke anymore.

When I replaced my fuel selector switch it came with the bezel and the switch and snapped right in.

I bought a 10/32nd threader and put threads on the back of the bezel. Bought some nuts and screwed it on works great. Thanks for the responses.

Anybody know if you can buy the female portion of the tank connector switch, I replaced the "male part" of the switch but the corrosion on the female part it plugged into was substantial.
