In any case, as far as I know, pre-68 Type 34s had a special steering column, post-68 had a completely standard Type 3 one. I now see that the parts book really does give an option (M248) for steering column without steering lock for the Type 34. Here are the 68-69 part numbers for the whole unit: With: Indicator switch with steering lock and ignition starter switch without lock cylinder: 311 953 503Q Without: Indicator switch with ignition starter switch without lock cylinder (M248) 311 953 503AF One more question: Inside the unit there is a bearing and soldered to the bearing there is a ground wire. Does anyone know what this grounds?
