ignition switch '90 200

[Nick Lawrence]

I got most of the ignition switch project done.
Many thanks to this list and cobram at juno.com for the excellent write up dated 15 Apr 2003.
I didn't get a chance to try removing the cylinder from the front as explained in his second-to-the-last paragragh but I did find a way to keep my old key!
On the end of the new lock cylinder is the little cast piece that always breaks.
It is held on with a tiny roll pin.  I just swapped the good piece onto my lock cylinder.   
I have a picture if anyone needs to see what gets changed.
So really if it was available, the cast piece for a buck would be better than $77 or so for a whole cyclinder.
Anybody want new keys for half price?
