Thanks Joe, that was pretty simple. The ignition switch came apart easily and I
noticed that my Beach tool box key is only good for a
lock with 4 wafers and these locks have 5. However in my eagerness to get the
trunk lock apart, I decided to hammer on the locking pin
instead of the rolled pin (poor eyesight and the inability to follow
instructions) and ended up breaking off the pin that activates the
lock I think I have another handle and will see what I can salvage. I will see
what I can do for keying and may take you up on your
offer.
Thanks again
