Hi johnboy,
As an update - I actually received a reply to an email I sent to Weston Body Hardware and they are checking out for me. It bolsters my belief that there are helpful people out there who are prepared to go the extra mile for others.

Hello all,

Excellent asistance from Weston Body Hardware- extraordinarily helpful people - locks supplied with original key number so I have the doors and boot now keyed with one key as original. Thanks again Johnboy HB for the heads up.

Hi Bill, can you clarify for me please, did WBH supply new barrels and keys for doors and boot or was it just keys or barrels to match your old key?
I have door locks but no keys
Thanks

If you've got so far as taking the barrel out then take all parts (with the fingers still in their correct place in the barrel) to a PROPER locksmith (not Timpsons or key cutters) who will be able to make a key to fit. Possibly best to take complete handle and let them do the whole job.
