March 24, 201015 yr comment_313590 Those are the anti-theft screws. The normal heads are designed to break of when you tighten them down the first time. To remove them either drill the heads off, or use a Dremel tool (or similar) to cut a slot for a blade screwdriver into the head.

March 24, 201015 yr comment_313595 I've never had a problem getting to either of them in this manner. What's in the way of the top one? Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/35177-changing-ignition-key-switch/#findComment-313595 Share on other sites More sharing options...

March 25, 201015 yr comment_313598 OK, you've got me on this one. On all of the Zs I've owned, the screws go straight out away from the driver's side of the steering column. I don't see how the dash could interfere. Can you post a picture of how your switch is oriented?

March 25, 201015 yr comment_313631 I just did mine. I would leave the regular screws in place and tight and remove the anti theft ones first. If you don't you will be "chasing" them all over the steering column.I bought a little punch and pounded them until I got enough grip for a screw driver. Next time I would get a dremel. It's all about having the right tool. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/35177-changing-ignition-key-switch/#findComment-313631 Share on other sites More sharing options...
