Yep, have that one stored in my bookmarks. Can do for the toolbox and steering head locks, but will still need to find a good local locksmith for the ignition switch. Was a great one in Hagerstown (about 15 yrs. ago) that made keys for my '56 Beetle ignition switch for $9. Last I heard, he was doing time for B&E!
While I had the '69s ignition switch apart Saturday, I noticed how easy access was then to the lock cylinder. May give it a whirl myself! Thanks y'all.

Hi Kevin,
Is this the site you were referring to? (found it in the archives)
I had a link a long time ago, well a year or two, that had a diagram
of
a Nieman key. This diagram showed what the different cuts meant in the key. Supposedly, you were able to take this to a locksmith and with these "instructions" anyone could cut a key with the proper blank
(which
has been cover numerous times)Even you with a file... I DO HAVE this somewhere, and have looked this morn with no luck. I believe it was off the Airhead BMW site since they use the same
keys.
I will continue to try to find this. It was just too valuable of info
to
toss.
Does this ring a bell to any of the dinosaurs on this list?

I was very impressed with the tank kit I got from POR 15.

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. 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,
