Ignition Switch Failure

[Hurrying Pete]

The ignition Switch on my VX Coupe has failed.  It will switch on the starter motor but does not power up the other electrics.  Have stripped the switch down to a riveted plastic assembly with 5 wires coming from it.  If I drill out the rivets goodness knows if it is repairable or if I could reassemble it.  The only switch I can find in the UK is for a Monte Carlo but the has a 4 wire loom.  Are these switches still available in Italy?

Saw your post on lmc but can't post there.

I have a spare for the gamma which is five wire,
 same era, so should fit.

Hi Geoff, that sounds great.  Much relieved, let me know your price.

Might be worth a punt!

Sadly Geoff's kind offer proved that Beta & Gamma have different switches.  I looked at that used one on Ebay & found that a new one had also appeared on there.  I bid on the new one, got it & the VX is back on the road.
