prolly the ignition switch. even if the tumbler turns you should get B+ but the switch to the starter may be worn out.

How do you know the safety switch is fine? When you press the clutch pedal down and turn the key to ON(III), do you measure battery voltage at the wire attached to the starter solenoid?

Have you checked the G3 ground wire that runs between the engine and transmission?

A digital MM will cost you $15-$25. With it, you'd pinpoint the problem in minutes by determining whether battery voltage fails to reach the safety switch (ignition switch) or starter solenoid (switch wires). You could also test the G3 ground wire.
