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. Jeff B |

The wiring is very simple for the switch except for one wire for the key in the switch buzzer. On the 914-4 it (gray wire with brown stripe) just terminates into the ignition switch.
On the 911 ignition switch there are two posts that are on the side of the switch that activate the buzzer instead of just one. I assume that the gray wire with the stripe should terminate into one of the posts and then the other post should either be wired to hot or ground? I think it should probably go to hot but if I am wrong that could be a problem. Anyone know which way the second post should be wired to? Jeff B |
