Does anyone know a source to get a NOS ignition switch and key tumbler. I have tried two of the foreign made key tumbles and one switch and have yet to get them in the car working. The tumblers keep falling apart. I decided to put one of the bad tumblers in and it would work but any key could start the car. Then on the switch itself one of the posts on the detached from the body before I could get the nut on to hold the wires. I would like avoid having to use a universal switch but I'm tired of all this foreign made junk and I have run of places to look.
I'm also still looking for a decent pair of original padded sunvisors . . . any color will do.
Don't know for sure about ignition switch but they do have many NOS parts.
