Trunk Lock for 1970 442

Unfortunately, the trunk lock is completely gone on the 442. While the screw driver is functional it isn't practical for when the car moves. I have paperwork with the original trunk lock code showing 9H37. Is it worth trying to come up with a way to get that particular coded lock? Now that I think about it, I don't even have the key for the lock so should I just order a new one and move on?

When I restored the blue 31, we were able to "rekey" an ignition cylinder to match the original keys to the car. Wonder if that can be done for the trunk cylinder.

I also need to find a key maker that can make me a key based on the code.

I cam cut that key by code and do a aftermarket cylinder that will fit and function properly. The face on aftermarket lock may be slightly different from the original. Should be around 55.00 for key, cylinder and make key
