Well that's exciting news!

Waiting for some sheet steel and then will try to make a really nice key for it. I am certain that I will get a proper key made for that, but I do not trust me making a proper key with hand tools for an 8 or 11 lever lock.
Hope to see some photos when it's all said and done.
As to the 8-11 lever lock keys - they look pretty complex.
I don't think I would wanna file out one of those either. lol

Drive cam is furthest from the dial, if that's what you're wondering?
ie. The wheel pack sets between the dial and drive cam.
