[TR] Ignition keys

[Joel Justin]

Frank,

If your ignition key switch is original, it should also be stamped with the key number.

Frank,

They may fit a TR3, but they are precut keys, not blanks. In order for one of them to work in your car, you’d need to determine if your ignition key code matches one of those John originally posted.

FS953 is all yours, Joel.  .I'll be back in touch around April 24 when I'm back from Goodwood.

And yes, check with your clubs to see if anyone can use any of the keys.  Our #1 goal is to help John keep this out of the skip...

BR,

Don

Don,



I have a car with one of those key numbers – FS953. If no one’s claimed it, I will. And if you want to pass on the whole lot, I’m a member of several west coast Triumph clubs I’d be happy to check with to see if I can find other matches.



Thanks, Joel Justin…

Yes, they'll be in the US in late April.  But the keys are still lookin' for a home here on the list.  I'm only the international courier...

Thanks for the replies everyone. Don Hiscock tells me he’ll be here next month and will take them home in his luggage, so the trash man here is cheated.
