[T3] Question about ignition key and steering lock

[David Sanderson <porschedave@rennlist.net>]

<x-flowed>Hi Folks

Oooppsss ... more questions. We have finished the pan. Yahoo!!! And 
now onto new items. I have a couple of questions about the steering 
lock and ignition key. The previous owner replaced the steering wheel 
based ignition key with an under the dash one. I tried to figure out 
why. It seems that when you switch to engage the starter, the key 
does not automatically spring back to the run position. I have 
assumed that there is a broken spring inside. However, I am nervous 
to take the lock tumbler apart. Has anyone done this? Is it possible 
to repair these systems? My second, or is it third question, regards 
the steering lock. It looks like there was something there but I 
gather that it is missing. Did these have a steering lock? Does 
anyone have a picture, diagram or other information that I can use. 
Is it worthwhile to take it to a locksmith?

In the meantime, we have completely assembled the chassis and have 
rolled the car to the other garage. This week I will rebuild the 
motor and installed the carbs that I have bought from John. Then we 
can work on the body. Of course, pics are on the website.

Dave
