You can purchase a replacement ignition lock cylinder for relatively cheap. The Haynes manual will give excellent directions on how to install it.

Thank you for the response and tip, but I have the original ignition lock cylinder, without any mounting brackets to install it. As the entire steering column where the cylinder installs is broken apart. So is a self made, make shift re-wire job, by passing the ignition lock and ignitionswitch possible or do I run the risk of damaging other components?
It's possible to do, but your best bet is a dash-mounted, or under-dash-mounted aftermarket ignition switch. Here's an example.
