Semi related, years ago, I had an issue with my ignition switch, and got a workaround for the time being as the job looked like srs bxns, and...then I had an (unrelated ) engine fire. Who needs an ignition switch when the engine compartment is see through?
So, the engine is on it's way in and barring unforeseen issues (There are alllways unforeseen issues, ha) the ignition switch is still on the list.
I seem to recall you have to unscrew the large black beveled ring? and maybe drill something?...
Mine is a German import '73E.
Is there a thread or maybe a vid or tutorial someplace that I've missed? or maybe it's easy and I'm just being obtuse!
