I had great service from Key Men (www.key-men.com). Ordered keys based
on the number stamped on mine. Look like originals. Their web site says
they can cut keys if the have the lock. Just based on the service I had,
I'd at least call or email and ask.

Not going to start on the '70 Ambo project for a few weeks yet, but
wanted to "get my ducks in row" for it. So, a few questions:

1. Need keys for the ignition switch. Have some key blanks I bought at
VMD last year but have yet to find a good local locksmith to cut them.
Did I remember a post about "Keymen" (think that's their name) cutting
keys for locks with none? Any other sources welcome also. Could also
just use the new switch I didn't use on the '69, I guess. But would like

to use as many of the parts that came with the bike as possible.

On my truck list most swear by POR for tank cleaning/repair. The other
is using phosphoric acid. This converts rust to iron phosphate which is
neutral. I personally like this route, but haven't figured out where to
buy it.

 2. Have a little light rust inside the gas tank and on the frame in
several areas. What to use (won't be repainting the frame)? Just want to

remove (or convert) the rust and prevent it's return. Naval jelly? Or?
Anyone used the product Rustol from Sudco in a tank? Any other
suggestions welcome. Thanks y'all,

Charlie
