Hi,

When i purchased my rusty project '65 -912 the car came with no keys - non runner for many years. :(

I removed the ignition switch and found the original scribed number on the switch. I also done this for the door locks.

The number i found matched that of the key supplier -

I took a chance that the barrels had not been changed since new.

I ordered from the above company 3 blanks cut to my key code and they shipped from Australia to the uk. took 5 days and cost total £13

And they work !! :D

Now thats a Result

Just thought id let you know in case you needed keys

Great tip. My old cars are always short of keys, and often have mixed locks as well

I can't open the passenger door of my 912 with the key. It never occured to me that the lock might have been changed. That snippet of info almost makes up for the disappointment of finding out chrome wipers don't exist! :D

rose i saw some chrome wipers on ebay.com -no idea if they were OE- about 3 weeks ago - cant find them now - approx $40 maybe you might get lucky in the future.



ps my passenger lock needed stripping first as it had seized -stipped - cleaned-lubed and put back together (and i didnt have any bits left over :roll: ) and now operates nicely .
