Beedspeed can sell you new igniition lock and keys, and glovebox lock and keys, though how you'll get the glovebox off I am not sure. The glovebox lock is held in place with a two pronged spring clip that slots either side of the lock on the inside, and the lock will only come out vertically by tipping it foreward once you remove the clip from the back, so twisting it off is not an option I am afraid, the hole it sits in ain;t big enough for it to turn in any way.

The glove box is held on with 4 x 8mm nuts onto bolts that sit behind the horncast, but again, unless you are prepared to wreck your horn cast, you need to undo that from inside the toolbox too.

Sorry I haven't come up with a simple answer.

And, I should have said, maybe an easier way to get the toolbox lid open is to drill out the lock. You'll need hardened drill bit for this - maybe an idea to get a locksmith to do it for you.

Ignition lock and keys are simpler to fit and lock easier to remove without having the keys.

Hi Colin I found the easiest way to get a key made was to remove the seat lock and take that to the locksmith he can make you a key by stripping the lock down so now I'm sorted.Still not found my original key but I,m mobile again ,cheers.
