Model T Fox steering wheel lock
Owner gave me this steering wheel and asked me to generate a working key. I was told it is from a 1910 Model T. It has a Fox after-market lock. I disassemble it and found, with no surprise, to be filthy inside.I soaked all parts in cider vinegar for 1 week and then filed a key and reassembled. I used a couple small puffs of graphite for lube. Owner now has a properly functioning steering wheel lock.

If you do this as a business you should add the particulars for others that might want to use your services.

Re: Model T Fox steering wheel lock
You are lucky it was off the car and maybe unlocked to start with. Many are still on the car and are a real pain to remove and many locksmiths will not touch them. Nice photos.
