    ignition barrel

    weird question, can someone confirm whether it's possible or not to twist the ignition barrel around, say 90 degrees, so that my switchblade can be put in a little less awkwardly?

    I'd say NO, as the barrel is held in by the metal casting around the steering wheel shaft, locked into a specific position. Might work if you strip it all way and have it exposed

    sorry mickey all ignition barrels only go in one way coz when u have the key out they also lock the steering wheel in place.

    i dont know what shape the key is, but might it be possible to rotate the key itself 90 degrees in the switchblade?
