As the original Focus ignition won't be used (just the PATS reader), I needed to find, buy and fit an ignition barrel and steering lock. After lots of questions to other Clubbie drivers I was pointed to Repco to get a replacement Nissan barrel. The actual part is a NIC301 from Nice Products. It has a 33mm housing which fits perfectly onto the Birkin steering column and the steering lock works a treat (perfect for ADRs). I had to remove the tacho and one of the indicator lights to fit it. The best part is the wiring loom connector fits it perfectly with no mods required. I have not decided yet whether I will fit the PATS reader on the barrel, or hide it somewhere else behind the dash. This picture is taken from the side under the dash (the scuttle is still off at the moment until the wiring is completed and the car starts).
