Reviews

I ordered this and the door and baggage compartment locks would not work, so I sent them back. Still investigating the ignition switch because of my ignition is a shower of spark ignition. I may end up ordering the ignition switch only if it will work with a shower of spark ignition. Any feedback is appreciated. Please no (I think) only for sure. Happy New Year and Stay healthy. God Bless Our Troups!

IGNITION SWITCH & LOCK SET A-510-2K

The documentation on this is poor. It says that the switch is PMAd but the door locks are not. It also says this product is appropriate for a Cessna 182Q. The switch is, but the door locks do NOT have the right lever arms. A 182Q has arms with hooks, this product does NOT.

FYI the key blank is Ilco LF12. Available cut by ACE Hardware for $2. Only some stores have it, so use their website.

Very nice ignition switch. Replaced original switch in my Beech 35-B33 perfectly. Door lock was somewhat an ordeal, but was able to make work with modifications.

Used on 172M. The ignition switch is 5 stars, machined, not die-cast body. If the contacts ever wear, its rebuildable with a cheap kit from ACS. The cylinders fit the holes in the baggage and pilots door, but the cams(what some call lever arms) are flat, straight generic ones. I bought several generic National brand cams from my locksmith for fabricating new cams. The baggage lock required a longer cam with a finger welded on the end at about 120 degrees. The pilots door cam needed a dogleg offset toward the door skin. Double-cut key blank is Ilco X132.

Switch well made, clearly higher quality locking mechanism than original. The extra locks that are supposed to be replacements for the luggage and left-side door require a bit of effort to adapt. I was successful in the end and am glad for the purchase. The trick is to attach the arm from the original locks to the new locks arm. I did so with a couple of #6 machine screws after drilling and taping the new locks arm. The original locks arm will have to be shortened a bit as well. Works fine, but did take a few hours of tinkering.

Mag switch is a perfect match for the original. No issues with install. Door locks have very different locking arms than the original. They required cutting and welding. Easily done with a hacksaw and TIG welder.

Q: Is the faceplate With start (P/N 11-03667) included in A-510-2K kit?

Per the supplier: Yes, the faceplate is included.

Q: Is this STC'd for the Cessna 150 and 172 as well? Is the STC Copy available?

The A-510-2 ignition switch is PMA'd for the C-150 and C-172. The door and baggage locks are not. Please review the PMA pdf which is located in the "Documents" tab of the web page to verify your serial number is covered.

Q: What are the overall and grip lengths of the door and baggage lock bodies? Can a third lock be added for a second door?

Total length of the lock is approximately 15/16" length (not including screw and washer on end). Max diameter of threaded portion is approx. 3/4". Max diameter of visible portion is approx. 7/8". You would have to special order 11-03172 with 11-01600 keyed together. This would give you 4 total locks. A sales rep can help you with this order.
