Default Ignition switch for Key #68

I have the original key from my Grandfather's 1923 T Touring and would like to find a NOS ignition switch. Does someone have one or is there a parts supplier that makes new repos?

Not sure. I heard from a locksmith near here that he thought he could do it.

Finding a NOS ignition switch, plate and ammeter for a 1923-25 would be a rare bird.

Why not go for a restored one? Contact Ben Martin (no email) phone only 770.938.3376 For less than $100 you can have the plate, switch and ammeter outright, he will fit your key to the tumbler if you ask.

Pair of mid-1919 switch plates, with the the large nickel finished pot metal headlamp handle made like new by Ben. Later headlamp switch handles were plain finished black steel
