[DeTomaso] Ignition Switch

[Ken Green]

I saw the parts on Grahams web site, but the site was down the last time I tried to go there.  Anyone have his phone number?

One option is a replacement barrel available from Graham Pantera for $80. The complete ignition switch is hard to come by and often fetches serious $$, unless you stike lucky and can find one from a 'facelift' Mk1 Capri in the UK. I searched Ebay UK for a long time until one came up that I got as a spare, but it didn't remain a spare for long so I was glad I had it.



One of the vendors, Hall I beleive sold a modern replacment switch with a new column cowl as a kit, not sure if that is still available.



Good luck,

Julian
