lock question

[Cpt.Fred]

1940 P10 2door sedan:

is the lock cyl in the fuel filler cap the same as on the passenger door

and ignition lock? only different key is for the trunk?

my old key i lost a few weeks ago worked with the 3 mentioned above.

so, if i would walk to the locksmith with my filler cap and let him fabricate

a new key, it would work with the ignition, too...?

Fred,

I would say the the locking gas cap key would be different from the ignition key as the locking gas cap was an accessory. My ignition key for the '40 fits only the door, while I have a different key for the trunk lock.

Good luck,

Bob

my locking gas cap is and after market deal with its own key that fits nothig else on the car.

darn...

the cap worked so nicely with the old key i could have sworn it would be factory...

[Cpt.Fred]

just took a picture, to be sure about this whole thing.

there were no factory lockable gas filler caps available, looking like this?

then i have to try other ways to get my lock cyls out of the car...

picking doesn't work, i seem to be too clumsy for that.

maybe take out the whole iginition switch unit and take it to the locksmith.
