Trunk Lock Part 2

Here is a photo of the trunk lock I removed and
that my locksmith backed away from like it was
poison.

I'm not even sure it is a 1969 TR6 lock mechanism since
so many bits of my car have been badly Pedro-ized. I can
detect no manufacturer numbers on the assembly.

I am asking if anyone in the States is willing to take
my mechanism to a locksmith and have a key made for it.
I will gladly mail the lock to the States, pay all
locksmith fees, return postage and purchase an English
beer of your choice at your local pub.

Anyone willing to step forward, kindly PM me with your
mailing address. It sure looks like DPO Pedro will always
be showing his fugly face from time to time.

Thanks as always,

Yeah Mickey, it MIGHT be easier but as already posted
probably more worthless junk:

<span style="color: #3333FF">"Might end up being worthless junk like the two brand new
ignition switches with key locks I paid just just about
$150. delivered. Both fell apart immediately. Long story
short- I installed a $9.00 Western Auto ignition switch.
$150 down the drain.

I'll pass on attempting to buy any more TR6 locks from the
Big Three!! "</span>

Therefore my request from help from the States.

Dale,

I have PM'ed you. I too work near Motorhead in Fairfax, VA. I will gladly take your lock over there and have them take care of getting a key cut for you or getting a new/used lock and key combo. Then ship it all back for you.

Hope this helps,

Brent
 
Thanks a ton, Brent. Really appreciated.
I'll drop it in the US mail in the morning.

Check your PM- I'll get ya something foreign over
the next 2 weeks.
