I tried this, but problem is I have no key for this car or the spare column I have , to get it in the off position so I can change the barel over to a new one. Got any Ideas ???????

gypsy,when i dont have the correct key i use a box of full of spare keys that i have collected over the years to 'jiggle' the lock...when that doesnt work i take it to a locksmith and get him to jiggle the lock out with his special tools..go see the thread about removing the top pot and then ring your local locksmiths to make sure that they can do the removal for you...failing that you need to buy another top pot without a barrell in it...if you cant do any of that ring me and i will sell you a top pot with a new ignition already fitted.

Thanks got coffee pot off. I think someone has jamed a screw driver up it before plus we had to snap the lock to get it out of the blokes back yard. I'll be more careful with the spare pot. once I get my real computer back I'll start puting up some photos of the resto

just make sure your top bearing section is good before you go to all the hassles of fitting the new ignition etc..

I noticed when I pulled this one off, that bearings fell out every where also how much would you sell me one for and with keys for 1973 HQ to brisbane
