What are all of the parts required to get the ignition switch on the dash? I am imagining /6 steering columns are hard to come by or rather pricey? Other alternatives?
Seems like the big one if the steering column area so that you can have the steering wheel lock. Also, seems like something would have to be done to cleanup the original ignition switch location on the column. |

All stock parts from a 911. A little bit of fab and welding. Parts are $200-300. Might also need an early steering wheel.

I see that the steering rack itself is the same. Sounds like dash needs some work to hook up the column in there. |

'72, 914-6 was column mounted key. Limited to very few of the 6's. Earlier was dash mounted.

I actually just miss the ignition on the dash like the previous Porsches I have owned. Seems like a worthwhile mod to me. Reminder: My car is currently half torn apart in the garage as it undergoes a rest-mod (I'm not building a concourse car) with tasteful mods.

Would you get the column assembly,clamshell,indicator/wiper switches and ignition switch for that ? considering you have to pay P car tax then 911 tax (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) . I don't know ? but for coolness factor yes but the cost would be up there. |

I believe I have all the parts to do this conversion. I will put together a list of what I have, including a 914-6 column. I can use the funds for a worthy cause.

so the column key would be correct for a 72' tribute car? That was what I'm getting at, if it is a conversion car, 72-up, the key on the column is still technically correct for a /6. It's not a conversion car. Just looking at the mod. I am converting to a Getty 911 style dash. Motor will be a /4 still (2270 with ITB's). |

Losing my mind... Group: Members Posts: 2,476 Joined: 26-May 06 From: Charlotte, NC Member No.: 6,073 Region Association: South East States |
I just got a 911 ignition switch, drilled a hole (though I think I just used one that was there), took out the column switch and welded it shut. It uses the stock 914 everything else (switches and all) I don't have a steering column lock, and its the 'wrong' ignition in the dash, but thats OK with me....I was never looking for authenticity...
