Key switch options?
Ok, so I'm halfway through my 84 build and I realise that the "keyswitch" cover piece is busted off. I remember now the PO told me the stereo had been stolen when the car got broken into. So, what can I do to remedy this? They key will insert and turn, but a screwdriver probably would too. I'm afraid the key may fall out and the steering lock while I'm driving, or worse, some asshole sees it's busted and tries to steal it. Too buy an entire assembly is OMG! expensive and not gonna be in the budget for some time. So, anyone have any ideas? Is there any other ignition switch I could use instead?

Ignition key
People are scrapping these cars all the time. You just need an ignition switch and a key that fits it. Take it to a locksmith and have it rekeyed to fit the key that works in your door locks. I am assuming you have a key that fits your other locks.
