A simple solution assuming you have a welding machine on hand, which most people don't and plenty of shops wont screw with doing that for a walk in customer.
I wasn't looking for a cheaper option when I ran across this problem. I had bought the NSS part referenced on the A1 configuration like...
So even though all these are 12v rated switches and you have a reverse light that can handle 12/24v, the switch will still pass the 24v from the humvee to the reverse light regardless of the 12v rating?
Yeah i have come across the non-wired switches, but was unsure if they are 24v and would work.
So do these switches not care about what voltage and it just passes any current through it once you push down the ball? The other thing I was wondering when looking at this a while back, is how long...
No cnc required, because doghead posted a part you could use and just cut down to size! It's not the oem part, but don't see a reason why it wont work perfect.
I would highly bet against any hardware store sourcing it any easier than you can from a cnc shop. My logic is because its such a specialized part and why AMG uses those odd ass dimensions coming from someone that designs products is beyond me.... but I see this head scratching logic on car...
This is accurate. If you look in detail at the Parts TM page 99 it shows only one switch (a NSS part# 12338434), but if you look at the diagram, it shows the hole where a reverse switch would go for the M996 ambulance config. If you epay the NSS you will get sellers that mostly don't...

Here is your answer...
OD 3/4 - 16 (the size of the hole in the shifter)
ID 9/16 - 18 (the thread size on the actual switch)
I had to make my own bushing using my lathe... it was a PIA even though I cnc'd it. I searched literally everywhere and nobody has a threaded adapter with those...
