Generic ignition
Knocked this out over the weekend. Only took a few pics. The linked write up is pretty much spot on so I didn't see it necessary.
I had a nice pile of metal bits/shavings fall out when I pulled out the tumbler.
Also took two attempts at grinding the individual tumblers because I didn't grind down enough the first time.


Only 1 key needed now!!!

Greetings Mr Fish!
Congrats on the needing only one key now, and thanks for the two images.
What kind of tool did you use for grinding? I am hoping my dremel will do the job.
You’re a bit more handy and was wondering how much time to dedicate to this task?
Thanks

I would budget 3hrs. I used a Dremel with cut wheel to cut a slot for a flat tipped screwdriver in each one of the ignitio screws. Then I used a right angle screwdriver to break the screws loose and got them by hand the rest of the way.
I used a bench grinder on the tumblers but I'm sure a Dremel would work, although having the wire wheel to smooth things out afterwards was nice.
There's a bunch of wires around the ignition. When reinstalling they go UNDER the ignition. The plastic shroud won't fit if you put them over the ignition. Ask me how I know.
