A word of caution, some GI keyed switch cylinders have springs that can drop out. The Delco has such a spring ,and you will probably not see it go.
Biggest problem is that the cylinders are not interchangeable between brands and there are no suppliers that maintain the H-700 cylinder kits for GI Issue switches. 70 years takes a toll on some parts.

You know just "one"? Speak up, that's one more than most of us know of. There are some who would like to convert to correct and H-700 keyed switches.

Hi wo2jeeper,

Can you please post a clearer photo of the keyed barrel you put in that switch? Just trying to figure out if the one i am getting (in the post!) is the same as the one which, based on your pics is known will fit.

Cheers,
Ian.

Hi Ian, I am not taking it out again. You can post a pic of yours and I try to tell if yours is correct for the job.
