seeking 1941 headlight switch info

[EjT]

I’m working on a friends 41 convertible. The fuse holder on the headlight switch was shorting on the dash. I believe it has the wrong switch (marked 853295) as the “nose” bracket is shorter than other ones I have seen online. The longer nose would place the fuse holder beyond the dash.

The current switch has bullet connectors on it.

Does anyone know the correct part number for this car and where to buy it? Does anyone know if there is an alternative switch that will fit without altering the bullet connectors on the wiring harness? I’ve seen one that I believe is for later vehicles that has what appears to be a circuit breaker on the end instead of a fuse. Will this work? Thanks for any help you can give.

No idea if Dodge and Plymouth are the same, my D19 book shows two different #s for 1941. Neither matches the number you listed. Probably doesn't help, but here is the info for  '41 Dodge D19 anyway.

My part list says 853295 is for 1939

910507 is for 1941

Thanks for the help!!! Couldn't find any info on the D19 parts. Found a 910507 and it looks like the right one. Not sure if  my buddy wants to spend the $130 on it tho.
