RE: Ignition Switch Holder
It sounds like the inside of the steering column is worn out where the lock cylinder goes in. It is made of light cast metal, I have no idea how to restore it once it wears out. Maybe drill a small hole through from the outside and insert a pop rivet or a metal pin as a substitute "keeper" ? Can you post a picture of the damaged /worn column?
