QUOTE(naro914 @ Sep 10 2015, 12:19 PM)  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... This is a pretty good idea also. I could live without a steering lock (although parking on steep hills would leave you open to some risk). Perhaps a manual lock mechanism could be worked out. And it it is a 911 iginition switch, well...then it is a Porsche part!! :-) |

What year or part number for that switch ? Looks really clean... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

It's from a 964/993...I think I ended up finding one from a 964.
Like I said, not "authentic" 914/6...but the again, not much on Huey IS authentic...but, it is Porsche. |

You can easily key the doors to match the ignition key....that way works better.
Funny, I frequently try to find a place to put my 911 key on the column |

It's not...but neither door is the same either since Huey was rebuilt by something like 4 other cars...passenger there's no key. I've never gotten around to getting at least the doors the same. |
