Replacing ignition switches? 120-130

posted by  someone claiming to be mario_e on  Wed Jul 16 19:02 CST 2008 [RELATED]

The '64 is on its way from Oahu and one (of the many) tidbits that wasn't disclosed to me is that the ignition has a key broken off in it. While I can work around it, say with a screwdriver or even make a stubby key I thought I might look into possible replacements.

Anyone have any experience messing with ignition switches. My only knowledge is that getting them out is a PITA, but maybe I had a rare case of a frozen release button.

Thought maybe one from a VW might work, they seem to be only about $20. Volvo seems to be around $65.

I'm not too worried about keeping her stock, the amount of welding I'm going to have to do on this car to get her back in order will probably mean she'll only ever be a "good from 10 footer".

Thanks as always.
