    My mechanic did a great job diagnosing and fixing a problem that required replacing the ignition switch in the 1965 Gran Sport, but he discarded the old parts (including the lock cylinder and the bezel nut) and replaced them with an ugly generic set. I'm OK finding a new cylinder, but the bezel nut is a tough find! If anyone has one to sell (even if it has to come with the whole switch with the cylinder) I'd be interested in talking!

    Thanks!

    Thank you for your patience.

    I've got this!

    Let me know if your interested. I got the nut to spin all the way up to the lock cylinder but I don't have the key to get the lock cyl out. The lock would need to be drilled to get the nut apart.

    Brian and Ken.. a good LOCKSMITH should be able to decipher the 'code' on the ingnition switch and possibly make a key, then disassemble the unit without drilling it....

    Thanks Wheelz,
    I've got a locksmith if I can't get apart it myself (I'll dust off some old skills I had in my youth, if you know what I mean!)
