My original '32 headlight switch is beginning to blow fuses. I have an aftermarket switch, but would rather stay original. Filling Station doesn't show any original style replacements. Does anyone make an original style replacement?

I doubt that the switch is the problem.

No.

However, as the others have stated, it is not your switch causing the problem. You probably have a short in the wiring that goes either to the headlights or to the dimmer switch.

Had the same problem on my 31.....found a bare wire at the brake light switch. Look for a shorted wire.
