Place the part into the electronic part of your switch as seen

Once completly inserted make sure it looks like the picture

After the part is placed back into the locking mech ,turn and see if there is any hangs or snags. If so you may have to trim but if there is none the you are good. Ive had mine like this for a year now and no problems

This is definitely original LoLOutta all the threads I've seen about the Ignition switch, this is the only one Ive seen on how to modify the switch to prevent replacement.
It's creative, I'll give you that much. The only problem I see is that the metal could possibly create a short after awhile. If anything, I'd say ur better off using a piece of plastic instead since there aren't any contact points in normal position. I've started my car by turning the ignition switch with my finger.
