    37 BT ignition switch

    I would love to get a key cut for the original switch.

    Is the key blank a Briggs & Stratton like earlier fork locks?

    I have a good locksmith friend and am trying to give him all the info I can ahead of time.

    If your switch is an original it is a Briggs and Stratton cylinder and will have a code stamped into it. Something like B2 over 36. I know of at least 2 AMCA members who can make you a key from that code.

      Unless it is a Panhead switch. They have no key code as they had no tumblers in the lock. The key locked the fork.

        Not A Panhead switch , its original

        That's what I thought Jwl, and I gave the numbers to my locksmith guy and he did not seem like they meant anything, I guess he's not the crack shot I thought he was.

        Can someone get me the info to get in touch with the board members who can do this please

          Terry Marsh would be the man. He rebuilds H-D switches as well, and does first class work. I don't think he has a website, but he is an AMCA member.

            Ditto on Terry Marsh. He is a member here. PM him at marsh1915hd and give him the code. I got one from him about a month ago.

              Any locksmith that has the B&S key codes can cut a new key for you.
