Ignition Switch [Tasmin 280i 1981]

[darren1981]

Just wondering if anyone know where to get a new Ignition Switch?

Mine's just broken on my Tasmin. But..... apparently, it's a USA import, so different to the UK ones as it has an additional Earth wire that connects to a 'tab' on the underside of Ignition Barrel (which is also apparently a USA version).

Just wondering if anyone know where to get a new Ignition Switch? There are 9 wires connected to the circular head, plus 2 extra wires coming out besides the head which I believe are both Earth wires (1 connects to underside of ignition barrel as mentioned, the other wire connects to 1 of the 2 small crosshead screws that go into each side of the barrel).

Here's a photo:


Thanks,

Apparently, the switch I'm looking for is USA export Lucas part No. TCK3390 (below). I have only found 4 & 6 pins ones here, not 8 pins. Not sure if all 8 are used on mine so maybe I could get a UK 6 pin switch and fix it?
