Hi Folks
Can anyone tell me what switch I need to order, (before I strip it down.....). Its the electrical component I think I need not the key/barrel.....
I'm not entirely clear what column it is.....(but it has the collectible/lattice section at the steering box end...)
Looks like this from the back, 4 terminals. and the column shroud has 2 numbers cast in
SWF HLS 67
SAE QB 70

It looks like a 70-79 beetle switch should be what your needing
the switches usually go bad on the start position, if so just put in a starter button, and use the switch for on-off only. bill
Maybe something like this:

This ignition switch-electrical part is for a BEETLE 72-74 UP TO CH # 1142358021, so it may not fit your car. You could call/email them to find out.
Excellent Folks !
Thanks for all of your input 
New switch ordered.
I'm hoping that's the cure for my recent intermittent starting.....engine was only really trying to start as I release the key....Its got a new Distributor, new coil, correctly set timing and properly adjusted carb....Up until recently was running great !
The switch is the last piece of the jigsaw
