Just did the swap as per your instructions, thanks for this. It drills incredibly easily as the metal is soft. It makes things a lot easier with the steering wheel out of the way. It's held in place by a single 24mm nut. This means a normal size bit is all that's needed. Had to drill a second hole some 3mm to the right in order to access the spring, so for anyone about to do this I recommend making this small adjustment. A replacement cylinder was only $22 at Concept 1 in Calgary (they ship all over) and it comes with two keys. I have the loser that tried to steel my car for messing up the lock with a screwdriver in a half-assed attempt at getting the car started to thank for this. Took a lot longer to remove the plastic piece out of the way.
Quick question. Did you Swap the Ignition switch as well or just the cylinder lock? I am wondering if when you need to Swap the Ignition switch. Thanks
