Hi All,
My ignition switch partially failed recently and I need to replace one of the internal pieces.
I have a '71 MGB GT with the ignition switch and key tumbler that are a single piece. In order to replace the entire unit I need to drill the old one out and buy the complete assembly.
I took the ignition switch off of the left side and pulled out the key lock/rotator piece (pictured)

The hollow shaft that houses the spring and connects to the key tumbler cracked apart, allowing the key to turn without activating the ignition switch.
I'd rather not replace the entire assembly, but you can't buy just the pictured piece alone (or I haven't found one).
Does anyone have that piece from an assembly they've replaced? Anyone willing to sell one?
If I wasn't clear enough, ask me questions, I'll be happy to clarify.
Thanks in advance!
