The metal keys are not all the same, by any stretch. You need to take
the cap to a locksmith or send it to the list locksmith. My local lock
shop keeps a copy of every Westy tank key they have made over the years.
When a customer comes in for a missing key, they try all the different
ones they have first. Often they have it, if not they take the lock
apart and make a key to fit, adding that key to the collection.
