It appears I have either lost, or never had, the key for the outside water fill
lock on my '82 Westy. I've been filling through the access hole inside the
van, but it's a bit of a hassle.
Unlike my '8 with a plastic key, this is a proper metal lock which is in a
"plug" that covers the fill hole, under the flap. Does anyone know if these
keys are common, or can be determined from a number, or do I need a
locksmith?

Thanks.Shawn Wright
