Gustav, 1963 VW Double Cab Truck
Ignition Switch
The truck came with an aftermarket ignition switch that was incorrectly mounted to the under-dash tray.
I found a clean 1961-63 switch with its original Witte key from a guy in Poland at a reasonable price.
Installation was a pain, as the access to the ignition switch hole was blocked. So I removed the steering column support bracket which allowed my fingers to direct the switch into the hole. Got the tiny mounting screw tightened down and it looks great!
I stripped & painted the steering column support bracket since it had surface rust & looked nasty.
