Subject: Re: Rear Boot Lock and Key
A small update, we now have door keys for the car as well, so one lock left at last.
I am working on the boot lock, since my lock smith was unable to take it to pieces with out causing damage.
However, the boot lock is proving very difficult to access to take to pieces.
I have drilled out one fine steel retaining pin, which held the brass locking nut in place, nice but no access.
Now, going to drill out a second more substantial pin in brass, this is the only other pin which can be drilled out, so it should hopefully allow the lock to be dismantled.
If it fails, then have found a possible replacement from Jaguar Mk 2 / Daimler 250 :
