[TR] TR4 Lock Question

[Darrell Walker]

Hi Jim,

One thing you can do it to remove the cylinder, insert the key you want to use with the lock, and then file down the pins so that the key will work in that lock.  That also makes it such that other keys besides the new key and the original key would operate the lock, but since most folks won't even have keys that fit, I don't think it is opening up too big of a security risk.

The car originally came with 695 and I would like to keep it that way if possible. Many thanks to everyone for all the answers to my questions and parts requests!  The project is going well.
