Somewhere along it's life the key to the fork lock on my Ambassador
was lost or ? What would be the best route to take on getting a key made
(anybody know what blank may fit?) or the whole lock replaced (are they
available?) or should I just wait a couple years when the frame gets
powder-coated and deal with it then?
Thoughts?
Thanks,
Rich
PS Front cover gasket replacement went well over the weekend. I did have to
break out the neighbor's air impact wrench to remove and reinstall the nut
on the end of the crank that holds the pulley flange but no biggie. The
cover bolts I torqued to 7 ft lbs. Is this about right?
