Roland,
You are correct on that all the 100's had the same number on the boot lock and the ignition switch. The original owner of my BN2 had lost the key and the ignition switch was replaced but the boot was left unlocked. I had Pete Groh make me a key for the original boot lock and was on his list for the correct cylinder for the ignition which amazingly he found and saved for me as I was first on his list.so definitely have him put you on his list for that.
 Now all I need is the original switch housing dated 2 56 or earlier....anyone??
