I recently purchased a complete lock hardware set from The Bus Depot. It is a fine setup. I don't know if it new or reconditioned but it certainly looks brand new. I have installed all the pieces, with only a minor adaptation on the rear hatch mechanism. However I am completely stuck trying to figure out how you get at the ignition cylinder. I have removed the black plastic steering columm covers but I see nothing to unscrew. There is a small plate on the ignition housing, I tried to pry off with a knife. Bent the blade and frankly I don't think I am attacking it in the right place. Any one out there have a clue what I'm talking about. I would appreciate any assistance. thanks Leif Paulsen '86 Syncro "4BY-THOR" |
