Well I just got done re-keying my ignition to match my doors per the write up on Ratsun (http://community.ratsun.net/topic/47412-how-to-dissasemble-datsun-510-ignition-switch-and-rekey/) and I'm feeling pretty good about it. Anyone else done this successfully? The only problem I'm having though is that when I went to put my new ignition switch on the back and turn the key to make sure it would all work, the little shaft that turns from the key cylinder and goes into the switch wanted to bend on me... is there some reason that the ignition switch would be too stiff? I think it's a Beck-Arnley unit I bought from Rockauto, if that matters. Any way to free it up so it doesn't bend that piece? Anyways I'm pretty excited that I was able to successfully re-key my ignition. I've still got a whole re-keying kit so if anyone needs their ignition re-keyed feel free to PM me, I'd love to help out those in need. Anyways I'm thinking the ignition switch must be faulty, or there must be some way to get it to turn freely, would appreciate any insight on this. Thanks! -Austin
