If you wanted a bit more than just the key - this is over your side.

Or just a repo key prices in US$ from Down Under

The original BL keys are VERY hard to find in uncut form. Like Neil ha shown you might find a complete lock assembly with keys, or blanks in the same style but without the BL swirl on the molded head.

If you find a source let us know!

I bought a repro BL key off eBay, took it to my local cobblers who cut it, it opens the door but won't turn in the ignition [:(]

Gee that is unusual, with our old worn locks.

When I had 3 TR7s on the road at one point, every key would work in every lock, except the new one in one passengers door.
