1982 Ignition Switch Needed.


Recommended Posts

Welp... Some idiot thief tried to steal our 82 BRAT. They shoved a homemade tool into the ignition switch and messed it all up. I'm thinking the either the car wouldn't start, or if it did, they couldn't drive it because it's a stick!!!!

Anyway, now I need a new key mechanism.

PS. Since Subaru seemed to share many of the Datsun / Nissan parts in those days., does any one know if any of those would fit?

I believe these are no longer available from Subaru - in which case your best bet is a junkyard. The problem is most of them are so worn down by now that pretty much any key will start them. It may be possible (depending on the damage) to have a new lock mechanism put in by a locksmith which will fix the damage but also result in being able to stick with a single key common with your door locks.
