TR3 Ignition/switch electric problem

I just replaced the center gauge panel on my 3A with a new one. After 
re-installing the switches, I tried to test it to make sure all was in good 
order before dealing with the wing nuts. I had to rewire the lead from the 
ignition switch to the starter, which was rather short and "old" and came apart 
when I took the panel off. 

I turn the key and heard a short from the back. Since then I can't get anything 
to "power" up. I checked the fuses, and all the wiring seems to be in place. 
Any thoughts on what I fried?

How sensitive is the ignition switch? I have the 3 wires wrapped together and 
stuffed into the threaded slot with the screw tightened as much as I can. Do 
these switches go bad? That is the only "re-wiring" I did. 

Appreciate the help.
