Dead End on Ignition Switch Replacement

[Paul Caouette]

Thanks everyone for the advice.


The instructions for the C-4 on Audifans will work for the 200 20v TQ.

The only notable difference was in the use of allens where instructions had
phillips and the fact that I had no need to move a relay.

Switch is in and reassembly is proceeding.

Thanks again.

After 20+ years I can still say, "What a great site!"

Cheers
