Works great
Did the job for the school projects.
Very nice ignition switch. Replaced original switch in my Beech 35-B33 perfectly. Door lock was somewhat an ordeal, but was able to make work with modifications.
Switch well made, clearly higher quality locking mechanism than original. The extra locks that are supposed to be replacements for the luggage and left-side door require a bit of effort to adapt. I was successful in the end and am glad for the purchase. The trick is to attach the arm from the original locks to the new locks arm. I did so with a couple of #6 machine screws after drilling and taping the new locks arm. The original locks arm will have to be shortened a bit as well. Works fine, but did take a few hours of tinkering.
Mag switch is a perfect match for the original. No issues with install. Door locks have very different locking arms than the original. They required cutting and welding. Easily done with a hacksaw and TIG welder.
Like a previous review, the door locks DO NOT work for Cessna 172. Ignition switch itself is fine. Now we have to have an addition key, ignition and doors.
Nice easy installation on the ignition switch. I have a PA-28-201T and I noticed that both door latches needed a modification to make them work. Satisfied but not fully.
Ignition switch was OK. The door and cargo latch’s needed extensive remodeling to get them to work. If I had known that I would never ordered the package. The addition of an optional part to fit the Cessna locks would solve the problem.
These door locks dont work with Cessna, the ignition switch itself is great, but buy door locks from Cessna! I called ACS, they confirmed this.
Per the supplier: Yes, the faceplate is included.
The A-510-2 ignition switch is PMA'd for the C-150 and C-172. The door and baggage locks are not. Please review the PMA pdf which is located in the "Documents" tab of the web page to verify your serial number is covered.
