Ignition lock and switch

[Natones]

I'm getting ready for another round of ebay auctions and I could use some help identifing this correctly.

That's what I've always heard it called. Maybe add column and electrical portion of the ignition? What year is that? I've been looking for a 67.5/16 for forever now. Lol

[Natones]

67.5 could be a possiblity. It does not seem to exactly match either of these from a vendor site:

Any one know for sure?

It looks like the one on my 67.5 to me, but then they can all look very similar.

[Natones]

Does yours say 'garage' on it?

[notoptoy]

I'm not where I can look at it but I am 95% sure it does.

[Natones]

sounds like we need to call in skyman on this mission

Looks like '68 or later to me. '67.5 did not have an accy circuit and the '67.5 ignition lock mounts to the right side of the column. If the one in the pic was mounted to the right, the text would be upside down.

The text is upside down in my 67.5.

I don't have a pic, but my 67.5 only has I think three posts. (Electrical) Mine doesn't have the garage option either. I'm thinking 68 or newer.

[notoptoy]

Ahh, good point, I think my 67.5 only has 3 posts as well. Sorry I can't just go out and look at it as it is in another state at the moment!

68,,,depending on tube clamp dia. 69 lock fascia is a stamped tin.

Some '67.5 ignition lock / switch pics are in this thread:

3 tabs on the electrical switch. Later switches have 5 tabs. Also, check out the wiring diagrams.

You guys do realize that you can put the later electrical portion into a 67.5 lock assembly, don't you?

Is this a straight forward swap or are there mods involved? (I hope to have to deal with this one day.....)
