Some additional investigation has shown that all of the component parts for the model 95 are exactly the same as on the models 60, 55 & 75 based on the IH part number. This includes the actual key. The only thing that is not a match is the switch itself. I would suspect that the model 85 & 85 Special also used these components as well. If you look closely or zoom in on the wiring blowup you can see that the switch is mounted in both the Retainer and the Socket using a DD hole configuration and it is larger than the Blade Switch which is a D configuration. The only Indak manufactured key switch with the larger DD configuration is the milled key versions.
To my knowledge, the only two other members here that have the model 95 are MBounds & JeffK. I would appreciate it if either of these two could or would look at their keys and switches and verify that they are indeed a 5 terminal configuration.
My next search is going to be if an electric golf cart set up would have a similar configuration. Considering the all electric configuration, it may have a similar wiring system.
I called Indak today and am waiting for a return call to see if their part number 3A463A is still an available part number. If this switch is not an exact replacement, I think it would be a functionally suitable one. In my experience with design and engineering people, they seem to look for existing hardware that will accomplish a specific task and then design the rest of the components around it. I don't know that IH would have designed a switch and had them "custom" made when an available stock option already existed. I could be wrong and it wouldn't be the first or the last time.
Any additional help would be appreciated.
