[QUOTE="NealandKate, post: 615388, member: 28826"] Thanks for the reply. I did the search and found plenty of advice getting the barrel out. I've done that and it was nice and easy with the brazing rod straight in the front on mine no J bend. However two replacement barrels later and I can't get something that engages with the switch. The first barrel was silver and visibly similar to what I was replacing, however it was missing a tang to engage the switch. The second barrel, black has a tang but its does not time properly with the switch, even if when I've taken out the steering lock pin. I wonder if because the steering lock was on (with no key) in my removal of the barrel the middle connector between barrel and switch has broken and I'm unable to get a replacement for this specific lock mechanism. Replacement would be disappointing and a bill I'd like to avoid. Any ideas? Thanks again. (when I get the van back from its battery tray replacement I can take a photo and introduce ourselves properly in the rest of the forum!)
