Good Morning - 58 BN4, I have an ignition with matching key, and two trunk-latch handle assemblies.
The ignition key fits into the trunk-latch handle keyslot of both handles I have, but does not turn.
I would like to have one of the trunk-latch key-cylinders re-set to match the existing ignition key.
Allows fo rjust one key for the car.
As this is a convertible, and I have no plans to install the top (I live in Phoenix), I do not need the key to actuate the door-locks.
Any recommendations of someone out there who can provide this work?
Thanks.

Contact Pete at https://britishcarkeys.com/forsale.html He re-keyed several items for me, NFI, just a happy customer. BTW, the number stamped on the square shaft of the trunk handle is the key number.

Thanks,
Duane

Simply take the handle and keys to any locksmith and he can do that for you.

Maybe Oscar down on central ave just a bit north of baseline know one you can use.

I think even Lowes can do it too
 
If you can take the lock cylinder out of the handle, slide the key you want to use in the lock cylinder and file off any of the pins that stick up.
