Removing the steering lock from an ignition barrel (and more)

[L14MNP]

Alright gays. :)

Anyone ever had to chop up an ignition barrel before?

The top one is the original from the car and the bottom is what I want to fit in its place. I am assuming I can just cut the steering lock part right off with the grinder. Yeah?

I'm not bothered about having a steering lock, but I want to get the barrel to a similar size and shape as what was removed so it best fits the column.


Innit. :thumb:

It's the housing itself what's in the way as much as the locking pin here.

I'm just gonna stick the grinder through it and cut off what's remaining until it's flush I guess. :)
