Queensland P76 Owners Club -

The ignition switch located on the rear of the key lock (the electrical part of the unit) is now very old and starting to fail. I have gone through 3 in 4 weeks.
: Research has tracked down the original which came from a CH Chrysler/Valiant and Ranger Station Wagon (1970 - 72).
: Small supplies of this rare item are still available from Mitsubishi Dealers but when existing stocks are used up, that's that.
: The part number is MI-3711445. at a list price of $131:76 (no, the cents figure is not a joke). Modification is required but it is small and simple.
: There are two differences between the Leyland part and the Chrysler part.
: 1. Large blue wire on Leyland part is light blue - Chrysler is Dark blue.
: 2. Leyland plug is round terminals in moulded rubber plug - Chrysler part uses spade terminals in square plastic plug. Cut off old plug and re solder to new wires. Easy!!
: It is advisable to also roll the metal edges of the switch case over the plastic end and coat edges with Araldite to prevent the plug coming apart. They have a bad habit of doing this.
