Hello all, new hear and trying to help out dad on the other side of the US (Santa Barbara).
So he got the car repainted, and when it came back he was unable to start the car. Local mechanic says he needs the following below. These seem to be specific to a handful of models, and thus rare/expensive. I found your site through google, which took me to (
https://www.sl113.org/wiki/Electrical/IgnitionSwitch), which looks to be a great write up on the issue, but I am not local to the car and Dad is 75, and less mobile than he was, and so I need to rely on the local mechanic.
And so I am here to ask for references for a parts source. I've been to the Pelican site which is quoting $800-$1400 with little info, not returnable, etc. Was wondering if I should be looking to other sources, and if so, who?
The mechanic says he needs the following.
000-462-72-30 STEERING COLUMN LOCK
or
000-462-72-30-81 STEERING COLUMN LOCK, rebuilt
000-460-00-04 Tumbler, UNCODED
000-462-10-23 Cover, Tumbler
Thoughts appreciated, including if I have the wrong parts listed... Thank you.
