Does anyone recall the size and quantity of the retaining nuts? This is for a '71 442.
Thanks

Lance - Are you referring to the chrome faceplate/bezel OR the wiper switch itself.

Faceplate is held on with two VERY SMALL stamped speed nuts....who knows what size those are...probably need a microscope to figure that out!

Switch is held on with 3 #8 x 1/2" hex flange screws (1/4" socket size for the head)

If you need some let me know.

I need to remove the bezel so I can replace the wood grain. I'm thinking the nuts are 5/16", and I wanted to be tooled up with correct socket.

The stamped speed nuts are also 1/4" socket size....if the bezel mounting studs are stripped a bit then just pry/pull against the bezel from the frontside while turning the socket on the nuts.

Thanks Patton, getting those nuts off is a Ray Charles operation

That and Harry Houdini as you'll get to do some contortionist maneuvers at the same time. Getting back up after all that is the real challenge!
