an alternative to that would be to have the seats re-upholstered(sp?)
i had my 82 wagon front seats done an an awesome black and charcoal, besides the fact that the rails are old and have a bit of wiggle in them, the seats came up perfect, new cushion for the rear end. and best looking 82 subi seats i've ever seen

you should be able to buy a complete switch and steering lock new, (atleast they are available here is aus) cost me $100AU didn't have to remove steering wheel, just plastic on column, used a hacksaw blade to remove the old ign. from the steering column.
note: I'm not sure if they new ign. i bought was aftermarket or genuine subaru.
