I recently purchased a 1956 Ford Victoria, 312, auto trans. The power steering was updated to a Borgeson, the neutral switch was removed. Looking for some ideas on how to install a factory or aftermarket switch? Thanks.

Probably most of us aren’t familiar with the Borgeson box, or how yours was done, so a picture would really help. How’s it drive?

The installer left the OEM NSS out of the install -

Thanks. the photo from KULTULZ is correct-better than I can provide as I have a power brake booster hiding this view.
The issue with the Borgeson converson is the loss of several inches of the steering column. To include the horn wire.
So, I have the bracket, still on little bit of column left. I have a new switch in a box but I do not know how to wire or install. All help is appreciated.
Thanks.

The car is an automatic? The swap will not work with a standard on the tree. Well, that question was dumb-a$$ (get him old age). Is the harness to the NSS still there are did they cut it out?

There is no harness---or wires that are waiting to be used.

Here is an ILL of the NSS SW mounting -  The wires are inside of the under-hood main lamp harness (14308 shown) if they have been cut-off - The ILL won't load. The horn wire will have to be wired as was done in the 58 FORD. The signal wire will be routed down the TSS SW harness and from there to the horn relay. Did you buy the car with the changeover or did you have it done? There is a member @ FORD BARN that bought a 56 that had the conversion and the install was a nightmare (and there is no reason for it). Let me know if anything else is needed. 2nd TRY on schematic -  You'll see where both the NSS and BRAKE LAMP SW harness come off the main harness.
You might want to consider finding a vehicle wiring schematic for the car.

Thank you. The wires under the dash are a mess. An updated radio was added and most of the connections are connected with wire nuts. I will see if I can find some wires looking for a home. Thanks for the offer to help. I may be coming back to you.
