I lost my key for my 57 Bug. However, I have a 58 ignition, will it work ?

Thanks

You can have another key made. Did your ignition key work your doors?

I just bought an ignition switch (that I now don't need-it's for sale in the classifieds) and mine was for 58-67. I'm not sure what the difference could be but it seems like your other one should work. Are the markings the same on the back? The posts on mine are marked 15, 25 and 50.

later model switch will work fine but the connections may be different. '58 and on used spade connectors. Did your '57 switch have screw terminals or spade connectors? The spade connector switch is sold by CIP1 and BugHaus as a '54 to '67 replacement. Part # 111905803D
