> ... 1970 Spitfire ... Is there some
>way to easily (or otherwise) disable the locking steering column?
Brad:
It's been a while since I had a Spit, but at least on my '78 the steering
lock can be removed. It will take some swearing, though...
Again, if it's like the later ones, the ignition module/steering lock is
held on by "Breakoffski" bolts (when installed, the bolt heads are designed
to break off so that they can't be removed). So you must use a chisel to
cut a slot into the top of each bolt, then a screwdriver to back out the
bolts.
Or, if you'd rather spend the money, have a locksmith come out and make a
key on site! ($$$).
