I sure hope we can help Steve out. And, it is so good to see Steve posting to the list. Last time I emailed Steve he used his expert lock and key skills to talk me through a sliding door handle repair. He is our list key expert. I still use all originally cut keys by Steve on both my vans. Though I’m less picky these days and am ok with not having a glove box key for the 84. Though I love the ones Steve made me for my 85! Now electrical people lets get him sorted! Eric Caron
