68" T500 Cobra keys

Post by argo1974 »

Hi, I'm in need of spare keys for my Cobra. Unfortunately I couldn't find the #2351 since all T500 iggi switches I've ever seen had 3 digit numbers.
On ebay, I discovered Cobra's steering lock #2353: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1969-suzuki-t50 ... 3a604d49e4" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Therefore I wonder if 4 digit numbers were used on early T500's. The actual key I have has #22 on it.
Any help appreciated.

Have a similar situation with my 69 T350. Two digits on the key & 4 digits on the lock. Got another key for the 4 digits via eBay & it works the lock fine.

This eBay seller has 4-digit keys:

They don't list 2351 but list similar numbers. Is your # of 2351 a typo? Also worth double checking the number -- might be easy to misread because of the way it was stamped.

According to the seller, #22 is a Suzuki key blank number, which was cut to my key number 2351. He's able to copy my key, so problem solved.
