SWB locking steering wheel option?

[juche_namja]

Can anyone tell me if swb 911's had a locking steering wheel option? Specifically, 67.

Thank you,
Jim

Hi Jim,
my 2.0S SWB from 3/68 comes with a locking steering wheel.

Is this option also on your kardex or COA or do you know the option code?

It does not show on my COA because it was a standard feature for 1968 on cars sold to Italy.

By the way: does anybody know where to scource key blanks for this configuration (1968 with locking wheel)?

Anatol,

I would try Tony Euganeo, at LockandKeyID.com

Thank you Anatol. My 67 911 has locking steering, but as yours doesn't list it on the COA. I wonder if this was specifically for Euro cars? Unfortunately, I don't have the history from day one, so I don't know if my car was a Euro delivery.

Thank you,
Jim

Hi,

In case it helps we have both a RHD 67 and RHD 68 in the workshop and both do not have steering locks.

Alan,

Yes, it's making me believe my 911 was a European model.

Thank you,

In the 1965 Owners manual the only instruction for ignition is the 4 to the right key movement. This is the locking ignition. Ignition Part number ends in .00 .

1967 Owners manual has instruction for the locking ignition (as above) and also the 1 to the left and 2 to the right key movement - Non locking ignition. Part number ends in .10 .

The locking ignition has the 5 pin lock and the longer key, the non-locking ignition has the 4 pin shorter key.

Either was available but some countries import reg's required non locking - if i remember correctly the USA was a non locking.

Ask Tony Euganeo about the key length and the door lock type. There are two, "K" and another one.
