It's time to replace the key/tumbler mechanism on the column before I can't start the car anymore. Pelican says that replacement key/tumbler parts are NLA. GPR has something that says it replaces the tumbler for only about $55 including 2 keys. That just seems too good to be true. Anyone got any experience with the GPR part? Any other recommendations or sources?
(Sorry no link for the GPR part - their web site isn't working tonight. It's under Steering Parts.) |

key and tumbler can be easily restored by Tony in philadelphia or one can purchase the factory original (certainly in short supply but available) or the aftermarket that Dave at GPR sells (we do too) that actually is a 944 ign key and tumbler so you will have dis similar keys for your car.
Like was previously stated if the ignition will not engage the starter, probably the plastic ignition switch has cracked. I would start there, however beware that some of the aftermarket ignition switches have too much slop in them, and will not engage the starter unless operated with a screwdriver from under the dash (meaning not engaged to the key/tumbler assembly) |
