'68 442 w/auto neutral safety switch

I am considering purchasing a neutral safety switch (NSS) for my '68 Olds 442 with auto and floor console. BAP seems to have one that matches the one I need. OPG has one also but it is on back order. BAP say they have sold thousands of them with no problems.

Any experience here with purchasing a repro NSS would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
pdsap

A really good company to buy that switch from is Fusicks. I bought mine from them. The Parts Place also sells it. Please do your research on the company you mentioned.

Be aware that just about all of repro parts vendors get their parts from the same factories in China.

Yes... you are so right! And that is my fear here. Sure wish I had the orig GM P/N for the switch I need. Maybe could get lucky and find one sitting in someone's stock.
