Ignition Switch Alternative

[Sodo]

When you insert the key there is a little nubbin that eagerly squirts out of the barrel. When you pull the key out it sucks back in.
Its action is a more exaggerated snap-action than just the speed that the key insertion speed.

All Vanagons should do this:
Add direct starter-to-chassis cable THEN delete ground strap at front transaxle mount.
The best time to do this mod was in 2010. The second best time is TODAY.
If your starter is slow, this is MORE important.

I have a lighted rocker switch to turn on power for the stereo in my '77 Bay. It has worked just fine for a decade and a half at this point in time.

As for the ignition switch, Bus Depot is claiming that their aftermarket switch has good reliability and doesn't end up being a glob of melted plastic all that readily.
