Sprint ignition switch electrical element

[bloodknock]

Hello Fellow travellers
My Sprint ignition switch has gone to the great ignition switch heaven in the sky!
Anyone tell me where I can get an Elan sprint ignition switch??

Lucas 157SA is I believe the Sprint version. Plenty on Ebay or Sue Miller, Matty's, S & J will all have them.

If the barrel is ok in your old switch it’s possible to take it out and fit it in your new switch so you retain the same ignition key.

How do you remove the barrel from the switch body? I have a spare switch assembly (without a key) & would like to get it rekeyed at some point..

As far as I know you can’t remove the barrel without the key in it, unless others know different?
