My buddy has a 94 FB and two winters ago we stripped the tins off for a custom paint job. When it came time to put everything back together, we had the exact same problem with the ignition switch being too low. We tried and tried to figure out how that happened when we didn't even remove the switch in the first place. We gave up trying to figure out why and just shimmed up the switch with some nuts under the switch and used longer mounting screws. It has been fine ever since. Just shim it and be done with it.

My Drag Spec switch had different mounts on it when I put it in. Then then I put the 6 gal tanks on it moved the dash up further and was really off. Just had to put spacers in to level it all out.
