Hi Bob,

What I did was to disassemble the cap completely.  Then insert your key
and you'll see the plastic "stops" that preventing your key from
working.  I took a file and filed them flush and reassembled the cap and
it now works with the original key.  The only noticeable difference is
that when the cap is off the key seems a little loose but it still holds
the key in.

Just got this from one of our online vendors. Does anyone know if there
is a better way (read less expensive) of getting it keyed rather than
dealership. It has a lock core in it but the po didn't have the key for
it so I don't either. Any suggestions. Bob Stevens '87 Syncro Westy
