I'm not sure about 67, but all the later ones I've worked on had the
return spring in the switch, not the key cylinder.

I have parts of a switch that I THINK came out of a 67 beetle. It is
possible that these parts are very similar. I'd have to look again, but
I think there is a metal body (front part) with a fiber rear panel with
wires connected to it. I have the body, most of the guts, and what
appears to be an intact rear fiber panel and wires. If this would be
any help to you it could be yours for very cheap.
