Hi Louis, did you manage to do the drawings? I want to do the same using 2DDTools.    If yes, please could I have a look? Successful? Material?

I am down to the lock below. I’m not sure if I can whittle it down too much more but is it possible to replace this?

Thank you.  Shear bolts off and steering lock released.  Barrel out and now need a replacement!    

Thank you.  Quoted from RobPearce- If you can find a new set of locks, that's probably the easiest fix. I'm slightly surprised, though - my GT6 has door locks that anything flat will open, and my Spitfire's locks were all like that until I replaced them.  

Thank you..  I’d like to see if I can get the spring pins out but you would normally punch them out. They are minute too!   l can see how to remove the shear bolts by putting a slot in them and might do that. 

 I have recently bought a Spitfire Mk41972. My teenage sons and I are gradually working through it, they are learning a huge amount. So am I. My apologies if my first post is a foolish question     I have two boots locks, two door locks, one ignition in the “sealed” unit on the column and a spare barrel. I have one ignition key and one door key. The ignition key will not go into the ignition and the door key only opens one of the locks!   Is it best I just buy a new set of barrels for the boot and doors, and a new ignition key and barrel. I presume I can somehow open the sealed unit, I suspect  I have to drill out the shear bolts, circled in green but would rather remove the spring pins circled in red but how do I do that?
