Works as it should immediately after installation, the proof in the pudding can only be determined 5 years from now

IGNITION SWITCH A-510-5
A wiring diagram would have been nice. Some kind of assurance that it was getting installed correctly.

IGNITION SWITCH A-510-5
Form fit and function are exactly what I was looking for on my 68 year old airplane.
Great !! As order and on time
Nice switch. Works good. Love the keys and the fact that they are non-directional. However...this switch has lug-type connectors on the back, not threaded post type like on a Bendix. Little screws, tiny star lock-washers. If you have tight access for connecting P-leads and ground (like on my RV-4), trust me, you WILL say bad words when trying to get the leads connected with these tiny screws/washers. Threaded posts with nuts (like a Bendix) would be soooo much easier.
This product is fine for certified aircraft as it is FAA PMA approved. However if you are building an experimental stay away from it. Replacement keys are very expensive IF you have a key with a number stamped on it. I originally got 4 keys for 4 locks and only one had a number on it. The locks do not have any number on them. If you don’t have the original number you have to ship a lock to ACS to get a key. Find something that does not go in a certified aircraft. Some locks that go in cabinets would work fine.
