I gotta have more cowbell....  Group: Members Posts: 161 Joined: 27-March 11 From: Maryland Member No.: 12,860 Region Association: North East States

Hi All,
I purchased a 71, 1.7L from a fellow member last April. I have a single key that works the ignition, rear trunk and front trunk. The door locks are a bit sticky so I probably need to disassemble before I get too adventurous with my sole key. With that said - I see key blanks on ebay, but the bottom line is I don't know how to get a new key made. Is it a matter of buying the correct blank and going to a locksmith or is it more complicated than that? Any advice appreciated, a bit nervous with just the one key which looks a bit worn... thanks Reg |
