[Tigers] 1966 Tiger MK 1A Ignition Key

[jimmc13 at socket.net]

Joel:
I have a 1966 Tiger and a 1965 Alpine.  Both are have key sets that are 
set up like this:

Ignition is the triangular WB key RM type and the doors use the same 
key to lock/unlock.
The console and trunk a use the WB Union, so called square key to 
operate the trunk lock and the console lock.  The Alpine is a 65 RHD and 
I am the 2nd owner from new. this car came keyed this way.  My research 
has led me to believe the cars used the triangular key for the door 
locks and ignition and the other key as I described.

Of course Stebor and other including some ILCO blanks will work.  This 
website; www.britcot.com show the keys and differences however I did not 
see where it specified which was period correct or original.  The owner 
of this site may have this info.
Others will weigh in with added data I hope.
