As already stated you must have a steering lock. I have to use the Ford coded keys but I have a Torana steering collum and lock. I asked if I could have the ignition on the dash and just have a seperate lever for the steering lock. The answer was no, because it should not be possible to put the lock on whilst the engine is running (mighty dangerous).

So I have the Ford Smartshield ignition mounted in the dash and the Torana ignition in the steering collum. A wire runs from the Torana ignition to the Ford ignition so if the Torana ignition is turned off/steering lock applied then power is cut to the Ford ignition. Basically means I need 2 keys to start the bastard. Not the best but I could not come up with a better solution.

On the positive side my Auto Elec says the only way anybody could steel my car is if they put it on a truck.
