The microfilm shows 311 905 851A used up thru '66. That covers all 
the 6 V years. It's the whole switch with lock cylinder and keys. It 
doesn't appear that it breaks down into separate parts like the later 
ones do. That's going to be a hard/impossible part to find. It's 
probably worth trying to fix the one you have.  

I think ISP has a replacement that they have made to use later parts 
and fit in the earlier cars. It's very expensive, but I suspect it 
works well. The only problem might be that the later 12 V parts were 
made to handle half the current, and might not last long under 6 V 
use. If you've converted to a 12 V system, that would not be a 
problem.
