Key Starter?
Middy Tim - 10/12/06 at 02:58 AM

For those of you who use a key starter on your Locost, where did you get the ignition cylinder from? I've been looking for one from some type of custom car source, but so far haven't had any luck. Did you use a steering column starter from a donor? Thanks

Most use the tumbler that comes with the column as this also incorporates the anti theft/steering lock.
New tumblers can be bought from the Dealer spares depts.

You can buy key ignition switches from VWP and also commonly on ebay:
