I did, on my 1964 1200. They were still there, rusted to the bulkhead, fifty years after purchase. THAT'S what I call original and unmolested.

Ha Ha!

Colin you were right. I examined all over the lock and could not find a number anywhere. however one of my other jobs was to sort out the secret boot lock on my jag that has never worked (common fault as they don’t get used much and get bunged up with all sorts of stuff and kak and seize up) while I was socking it in the cleaner liquid I popped in the glove box lock, it can only help a bit. It came out nice a clean and there it was on the side plane as day, the lock key number. 740 not a key I have or ever had according to my records. So not sure where that can from🤔

So if any one is looking, it is there just keep looking.
