    Or you can have a locksmith make you a new key to fit those cylinders.

    I lost the key to my Motorcycle about 6 years ago. Locksmith came onsite and made a new, double sided key in about 30 minutes using some feeler tools, a vice, and a file. A single sided, 4 tumbler key can't be too hard to make.

    Option 2, see Jeff's Guinness sized ring of keys, one of them is bound to fit

    I have quite the pile of keys too. Should go try them all.

    You know, that may not be a bad idea; re: locksmith. The cost of new parts is almost $100 with shipping and then the work to remove it all. If they are equal, give or take, would be well worth it.

    I would first reach out to Gary. He may have a spare set he forgot about. I recently found a spare key for my van sold last year. You may be lucky.

    Alas... I do not have another set. I thought maybe there was a spare set when I was selling the car, but never found another set. I probably had a spare set of the ORIGINAL keys, but only had the one set with the new set I put in during the three-week makeover.
    I wasn't the last person to drive it.... Roger drove it up into the garage after I got out.

    I wouldn't have attempted driving up is driveway either. That 45 degree incline is scary.

    Yes- you are both correct. The keys thing I will find a solution for if they don't turn up. The 45 degree incline will be solved when I move from here. I'll eventually get to both of these.

    I am happy to report the keys turned up today!

    That's all. Back to what you were doing...
