67 CL77 need new key, mine ready to break off

Post by ugmold » Tue May 05, 2015 9:05 am

I'm looking for a new key for the ignition switch, mine is bent bad and ready to break, I found some blanks, but not sure that will help (who cuts them?)

The code I have on the key is 43F, I have not seen a similar code either.

Any help is appreciated.

Hi Forrest

The 43F is probably just a code to specify the profile of the key blank, not the specific key. Can you read a number on the lock?

A good locksmith should be able to use your key to cut a new one, even if yours is broken.

I didn't have a key at all for my ignition, local KeyMasters made me one for $15. Just had to bring in the ignition tumbler for them, it took less than an hour.

You had to have a blank right?

I looked for the number on the tumbler it is 6VH43F.

That doesn't sound like a Honda number.

Either NA, NB or T follower by 3 or 4 numbers.

I agree, it was stamped on the side, not the face of the switch.

I should add that it does have a Honda key and I ordered a couple of Honda key blanks from hondakeys.com, he recognized the key as a later 60's Honda.
