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.) |

There was a thread or two late last year that went into detail about the tumbler assembly getting worn and not engaging the electrical switch properly. I fixed mine by 'shimming' the tang to electrical switch and the tumbler to switch housing with thin mylar 'duct tape'.
