Instead of exposing the keyhole to dust, debris and moisture, the HD Switch Dual Protection System seals the entrance and protects internal contacts. The kit fits the same mounting pattern as the original switch and includes everything you need to swap it in quickly: the premium ignition switch, a rubber grommet and nut, a soft-grip umbrella key, a spare metal key, and standard mounting hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this ignition prevent failure in dusty, wet conditions?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe kit uses two overlapping defenses to keep contaminants out of the keyway and switch internals. The rubber grommet and locking nut form a tight seal around the switch body, while the umbrella key covers the exposed keyhole when the key is inserted or removed. Together they cut down on abrasive buildup that causes electrical and mechanical wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCustom-fit rubber grommet and nut that compress to form a barrier\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUmbrella-style soft-grip key cap that diverts water and debris\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReplacement switch contacts designed for outdoor cycles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill this fit my Country Clipper E-5873 or E-6440 without modifications?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — the HD Switch unit is made to match the OEM mounting pattern and electrical terminals of the Country Clipper E-5873 and E-6440 models.
