Gotta look if I still have my shim information or any of those left. The bearings are easy. I'll let you know.

"Escutcheon"..... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Only other time I heard that word was when my wife used it in conversation a few years back. Escutcheon ring around the fire sprinkler.

I married smart.

(I looked up the new word as soon as she wasn't looking)

Great word.

I found this older 911 switch and thought it might work?





Will that lock use a regular 914 key ?


No, that is K100/K300 style 356/911 key. The 914 uses an HC/NC key profile. They are not interchangeable. The face of the lock is also distinguishably different. A show judge would notice it immediately. That ignition lock also has spade connectors. The 914-6 ignition switch has bullet connectors like the 911.

its the same as the same year 911, but the PN is superseded to the later aluminplate
911-347-621-00 SS 91134735901 911,347,359,01

That aluminum plate acts as a retainer and a spacer. It is for late 911 ignition locks. The later style uses a shallower (flatter) all plastic bezel. The earlier locks had a couple of different versions of retainer; just punched metal. The bezel is thicker and has a black metal insert or polished steel insert (like the picture above).

What if you don't care about the column switches. Can't you just cut the arm off of the 911 ignition switch. Keep enough of the arm to use the buzzer switch?


Is the buzzer switch the part to the right of the main tumbler ? IIRC the mechanism at the end of the arm will have to work; spring loaded ?


The 911/914-6 steering lock will all mount the same way, but there are subtle differences throughout the years. It's up to the owner if they want to be period correct in appearance and have correct profile key. Early locking ignition had spade connectors not bullet.

BTW, I have two of theses ignition switches. I'm quite sure they give you the opportunity to have an accessory setting in the switch.

I will be selling one, if someone is interested. They are both in good usable condition. (No key fob)

Thanks

911 columns 69-73


Just in case anyone was wondering why a 74 or later column will not work here is a photo. The length difference is about 2 inches. The 73 column will be 8.75 inches long

The 914-6 steel column (steel tube portion) is about 8-9/16"
The four cylinder column (steel tube portion) is about 6" long.

Mark, there is a washer that goes on before the shear screws go in. I'll try to get a photo later. It sandwiches the dash tin between the switch and the washer.
I made one for a guy once. I used a electrical box cover for the material, a knockout punch and a pattern off an original part.

Yup. It was just for mockup. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) Just looked, is that plate not available anymore? Is the 914-6 one different than the 911? If I can get one, I can have them laser cut en masse.


Hey Mark any luck with this reinforcement plate? Otherwise I will modify an old 911 to fit with marginal results. I made a crappy pattern of the inside of the 914-6 dash and transferred it to a 911 piece

How come the -6 dash as such a deep recess versus a 911 ?

I believe it has to do with the angle of the dash.
