Subject:Re: 83 Westy/Key for Water Tank

I got said key off the shelf!

It's resting here in my hot little hand, all bright and shiny, and happy as
a clam!

I went to a shop in Winnipeg, they said there was an Ilco number for it,
found the part number for me, and cut said key which works fine!

He did cut off part of the side of the key though, so that it could be
inserted and turn properly.

I think I paid $7.00 total for three such keys.

I'll get the number but I have to call the shop first.
