In my case the two keys are/were cut the same but one is slightly thicker
than the other. I believe it is the thinner one that operates trunk/cubby
and will also operate the doors/ignition. The thicker door/ignition key
will not fit the other locks so it can be used as a 'valet' key - if someone
were so inclined (but not me).

it was always the same key. but id suggest different keys with a magnetic
link on your key fob. i cant tell you how many times I'm driving and wish i
could have the passenger open the glove box for me.

Anyone know whether the TR3 used the same key for the ignition & glove box
locks or a different key?
My guess is different keys, but it's just a guess.
I'm finally getting around to setting up original keys on my car. I've got
locks & keys, I just want it to be right.
