I am considering an alternate plan for a left side ignition switch conversion. My plan is to alter a standard 914-4 steering column to accept a left side 911 ignition switch including the locking feature.

I would remove the right hand ignition switch and possibly fill in the area like some others have done. The other option would be to insert a push button switch instead of the key tumbler and use it to energize a windshield washer pump motor.

I will need to get some dimensions shown on the photo so I know how to modify the standard 914-4 column to accept the 911 ignition switch. It would be very helpful if someone can help with these dimensions.
