My original ignition switch/coil for my '58 444 was shot because someone (dad?) had cut into the shielded cable between the switch and the coil - probably because the coil was bad. After searching around, I was able to find another 6V coil from a 210 (I believe). Only difference being that the mounting bracket on the switch itself is attached at a different location - a little closer forward towards the keyhole opening. I was able to remove the old bracket (which was spot welded on) and I will be getting the original bracket spot welded back to the proper position - hopefully this week.
My only problem now is that I'm short a tumbler and key. I've been keeping my eye out for one on eBay but no luck. I'm also currently bidding on one on Tradera.com, however, I doubt I'll win the auction and I need a backup plan. I've also checked with my normal parts suppliers with no luck.
Any ideas where I might be able to obtain a tumbler and key for my ignition switch?
Thanks in advance,
