[Roadsters] Ignition

[Dewey Hahlbohm]

Jim, I got my key got stuck in the ignition switch several years ago, tried all kinds of things to get it out, but nothing seemed to work. The locksmith lent me a  special tool He has, but I could not get it to work either.  I finally removed the ignition switch to take to the locksmith.  He  easily got the key out with the switch on his workbench.  He went on to make me several custom fitted keys that compensated for the wear in the mechanism.  I do not think it cost more than $20, maybe 25.  Could be worth a try if you know a good locksmith.  Good luck, Dewey
