Hopefully you have the original '67 K-code ignition switch? The aftermarket replacement ignition switches for Beetles ~'67 often use a single cut key common on pre-'67 ignitions. This key is not the same key shape as the door keys.
Here is a quote from an article on the 1967Beetle.com site:
Quote: The 1967 Beetle (US Spec), when new, came with One Key that would open both Doors and operate the Ignition. This new-for-1967 Key has a Profile name of âKâ. It has cuts on both edges, something new for the 1967 Beetle. Previous years have cuts only on one edge
See the pics in the article and you will understand if your ignition switch has the correct key type. |
