1959 Tbird lighter mounting

[RBabler]

How do you keep the lighter mounted in the dash hole I see no way to do this is there some sort of tinderman nut that holds it in the dash. We also see no way to mount the ignition switch also

if i remember right , you seperate the two pieces of the lighter socket. the piece your lighter goes in is inserted in to the bezel and pushed into the dash panel and then you can screw the outer part of the socket from the backside onto the receptical

Yes the whole thing screws together but end result is that it slides into the bezel and see no way to lock it into it.
