Model A steering wheel lock

[bitbuster]

Last October I was given the task of generating a key for a Model A, after-market steering wheel lock. It only had to be completed before spring. After researching the steering wheel and getting the correct blank (thanks for the info Jeff), I have completed the task. Yes, I could have impressioned a key but I chose not to. I gutted the lock and I'm glad I did. The cylinder and all related parts were filthy. I suppose that after 80+ years without service it should have been expected. I soaked the cylinder and rest of the parts in cider vinegar for one week. Wiped all parts and reassembled after I cut a key with my Heller file. I did use graphite. The 2nd key was cut on my key machine. Both keys work smoothly.

Oh how nice! You didn't cut any corners on this job. I'm sure they'll love it.

I did shave off the length of the key by 1/16" so the key would bottom out to the shoulder.
