Not sure he will be able to help if this is an "Aftermarket" coloum lock, you will need to make a key "fit" the lock-waffles because I am pretty sure you will not be able to get "Spares" :-\ Title: Re: key for pre 67 collumn lock Post by: beetletom on December 20, 2014, 10:47:40 am i'll try and get a pic.
yep i think that may be the case! :( Title: Re: key for pre 67 collumn lock Post by: dragvw2180 on December 21, 2014, 02:38:36 am I have one on my 66 , I will compare it to some bug keys I have tomorrow . I may try to have it copied if it would help you. Mike McCarthy

Title: Re: key for pre 67 collumn lock Post by: beetletom on January 05, 2015, 18:03:08 pm took this out of the car the other day
the locking column bit has been removed in the past (not too bothered about that) found out why the key wont go in, as part of the tumblers inside, have moved across the keyhole, so the key won't go in! any ideas how to remove the lock assembly, from the housing? looks like there is a screw or a rivet (but someone has drilled the head off...) >:( Title: Re: key for pre 67 collumn lock Post by: Lee.C on January 07, 2015, 19:46:17 pm Dude sound like you should forget this one....
Sounds like a mess :-\ Find a NoS item with the key, Probably not that hard these days..... Title: Re: key for pre 67 collumn lock Post by: beetletom on January 07, 2015, 20:27:12 pm yeah! :(
they are quite hard to come across in the uk but like you said, should be ok to find on the internet but the ones i've seen advertised are big £££ do you come across any where you are? Title: Re: key for pre 67 collumn lock Post by: Lee.C on January 07, 2015, 21:03:54 pm What in WATFORD hahahahaha I am back in the UK......
I am SURE you can find a "Good one" :-\ Title: Re: key for pre 67 collumn lock Post by: beetletom on January 07, 2015, 21:06:58 pm ah! thought you were still in norway (or finland or somewhere lol)
