[FC] instrument panel question

[Paul Steinberg]

I have never seen it, but I wouldn't put anything past the parts depot to do
what was neccessary to ship a part on time..... it isn't that expensive to
have a key made to try it.  The glove box lock has the key number for the
trunk lock....... Paul in CT

  I was going to wait until I got the lock out of the other door to at least
  see that they matched (hoping to increase my odds that the locks all match)
  before getting a key cut.  Does anybody know if an "inked" number was used
  on the door locks.  It is a four digit number.

  The factory numbers were always stamped..... the replacement locks didn't
  have
  a stamped number unless it was ordered with a key.  Don't know what the
  inked
  numbers would be..... Paul in CT

    Those should be the numbers, but take the cylinder along anyway to try
the
    key.
