I decided to use a OD switch on the dash rather than putting it on the column. I think this switch is awesome. I'm going to put it where the lighter goes and add an indicator light in the proper spot.

Hmm that's good to know. I'll have to do a little research and see if I can find someone local that does it.Re the wheel cylinders, if you can find a real craftsman in your city/locality, do so, and get them re sleeved and kitted in stainless steel or brass - then they will last forever, or close enough to it. I have this on all of my VW beetle wheel cylinders, but it's a dying art and only one place left in Auckland that does it AFAIK. Way better than brand new steel ones IMO. 2c delivered
Nice 122s and Minilites, remembers my first 122s 65'....
Yeah I heard that, but I haven't wrapped my head around it yet. So I would have to switch dashes or weld up the hole?--Regarding your BW35-to-M41 conversion, I trust you are aware that both the 3-piece plastic steering column shroud AND the hole in the dashboard behind it for the steering column and shifter linkage to pass through are larger in automagic cars. Pulling the shift linkage and changing to the common slimmer 1-piece non-auto shroud setup will leave an unsightly circular opening in the dash behind it...
Thought about that?
If you're OK with sending me what it's worth to you (after you receive it is fine) let me know where to send it...
If not, you've got options.
BTW I also have the upper column section that came out of the same car; (pretty much) complete with excellent working ignition switch lock cylinder and key. Does not need/use the usual armored-cable coil and integral switch. Will require later style (crooked shaft) steering box, and will take some dedication to install.
Got it, my confusion was with the term cobble together:
"To make something or put something together hastily or carelessly..." in my dictionary.
Unless there is a segment of the used Amazon parts market I'm unaware of, I believe your 3 piece auto shroud with indicator, etc, if perfect, is worth slightly more than the transmission if perfect.
