I've never been able to get new keys made from lock, only from old keys. I
drill old lock out of headstock. Not as difficult as it sounds, but try to
get a look at how a lock comes out of a friends bike with the key first. It
may help.

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?
