[Rovernet] Bob's Key Dilemma

[Steve Manwell]

Hi Vern,

It also seems possible that Bob's 1970/71 car would take the same 
steering lock and ignition assembly as the contemporary Federal 3500S 
with the same style gauges and dash.  The part number for that assembly 
is 570177.  This type takes a double sided key, i.e. cut on both sides, 
and the blank has one slot down one side and two slots down the other side.

Here is one on ebay for reference (apparently also missing a key): 
https://www.ebay.com/itm/224756391601

It may or may not be easier to remove the whole upper steering column 
and the column lock as an assembly (a la the ebay ad) rather than trying 
to remove the shear bolts.

Steve
