1946-48 Ford Trunk Handle Barrel & Key
 

I have a repro 46 Ford Trunk Handle that I bought a couple of yours ago , so I go to fit this handle and try to turn the key and the whole barrel & Key comes out in my hands in pieces, so after a couple of years no point in trying to get warranty, I ring up a couple of Repro Dealers and get told only available with the handle and as I am in Australia the price for a new handle is $460.
So is there another solution, I am going to take the handle to a locksmith and see what they can do but I thought I would ask here first.

Thanks in advance
Regards
Bill

How about an original? Even if it needs to be rechromed . I have a few , Ill check condition.

Do you have the barrel & Keys to suit ?

Do you have the cylinder and large nut that the handle fits into? I think the handle lock bolt needs the cylinder.

I am in New Zealand and have NOS Barrel and key sets to fit the original handles if you need one send me a private message. :)
