Gene, the switch is a thing of beauty! I greatly appreciate it.

Mechanically it works perfect. I don't have a stop cable for it as of yet so I didn't mount the switch to the mag. All I did was pull the stop cable mounting bracket on the steering support, heated and bent it to the original shape and remount it in the correct position next to the throttle.



The hole has been enlarged but we can weld it smaller.

 
Welded the hole i the bracket smaller, filed it to a proper 3/8" round hole and made the new strap to fasten the stop cable to the switch. I need to come up the correct style screw in order to match the other two.

I bought an Oregon 60-053 push-pull cable which was supposed to have a removable knob so I could lathe one of proper shape and replace the too large black plastic one. I'll have to cut it off and rethread the shaft for the replacement knob. There is plenty of rod in order to do that.

A few things about the cable I chose. It comes with a plastic knob that's a bit larger than the original. It has a rubber seal at at knob end of the cable to prevent water intrusion. It has a vinyl sheath over the spiral outer cable. The inner core is .060 and fits the hole in the in the stop switch clamp screw perfectly. It's a nice heavy duty replacement but is far from original. I did have to enlarge the cable guide located on the underside of the fuel tank so the cable would fit through it. Wrapped it around a pin punch and tappy-tap-tap-tap.
 
Photob unmet is giving me fits.

Did a mark II version of the stop knob. I ran a 10-32 die over the cable's shaft. Afterwards it was a perfect mate to the later kill switch knob. I filed off the un-necessary bits and polished off the remaining scratches with 1500 wet or dry. Now it reads out and stop. It'll do for now.
