Loose ignition switch

[Arifaeth]

Hey, so on my 69 521, the ignition switch internals are very loose, like the key doesn't go in and unlock the tumbler, it just sits in there, and I can wiggle it up and down, further than the key is thick, can I get the internals of the tumbler fixed? Or is it just time for a new switch? Cause I've also gotta redo both door locks, and I can turn the ignition switch with a screwdriver 😂

Do them all if doing the doors anyway.

Alright, any idea of what type/a good cheap set I can get? I figured I'll do the ignition switch, and then when I get the new locks at some point, I'll just take them down to my local lock place and have then rekey it to match the ignition key

I guess I could technically just throw it onto a cheap ass twin switch ignition till I can afford to spend the money on nice door locks and ignition set.

Cheap ignition switch to install in dash means screwing up the dash hole for original switch.
