After you replace the ignition switch
its a good practise to use a relay located near the battery
or the starter motor...
Ignition switch will probably last forever too...

Can you post an image or a part number?

hi sulla,
i would be interested in one to suit my 54 beetle if you have one spare to sell?
as long as OVAL TOFU gets what hes after i am happy to be next in the virtual line yeah..
cheers paul

Sorry - only spade connections.

I took the ingnition switch out and it turns out the plastic/bakerlite material on the back was a bit loose from the cylindrical metal housing. I zip tied it together as one of the three retaiing points was cracked. The zip tie should help hold the unit together for a while, but while I know what the problem is, I'd like to see what Sulla has to offer in terms of ingition switches... so you only have spade connector switches? It may have to do me in the interim...

maybe rescue it wid some araldite, Chris

it's probably too greasy and dirty from the WD40.. i had considered glueing it already - good idea though - great minds think alike?

turps then metho then blow dry
or get one from me soon

Jeff just did

I think my trusy zip tie will be stronger than the araldite honestly! You got screw terminal switches?
