[DeTomaso] tumbler

[Bill Lewis]

Chris

I live on a small ranch in SE Texas, which means I have lots of locks & tumblers of all sizes and shapes.  I discovered Houdini years ago.  Houdini is my friend!
Good luck with your search.  (Mine will probably break tomorrow!)

Hi folks,

Recently I remember a post about ignition tumblers, and that they were difficult to find.

"Ha!"  I thought, "At least I don't have that problem with my car!"

Oops.  Today my key decided to only go into the ignition switch halfway.  It will not go in any further, even after squirting half a can of Houdini in it.  I was fortunate that I could wiggle the key around enough to get it to work so I could get home this afternoon, but once home, I could jiggle myself to death and that key will not go in.

I talked to a couple of vendors, and neither has any for sale, and apparently, they are no longer made.

Before I bypass the ignition switch entirely and mount a giant light switch on my dash to start the car, does anyone have one they would be willing to sell to me, or know where I might find one?

Thanks for your help!

Sincerely,

Chris
