Is their an easy way to bust or remove the ign without doing any damage?(dent puller?) I have access to a complete colum with keys(its out of a 87 t2) would it be easyer to just switch them? Thanks for any info TEDMAN

why don't you just get the VIN# and get some keys made?

Thumbs up Lost keys

Exactly.

Take the VIN # to your local Mazda dealerwith proof of ownership. With rare exception, they can get replacement keys made for you for very minimal cost. Say, $2 per key.

If you don't have a local dealer, PM me. I'll hook you up with a guy that ships parts all over the place. Shipping a couple keys would be nothing to him.

Well I guess I got screwed. Cost $10 + tax at my local mazda dealership and I got one of the SHitty all metal ones not the one with Plastic "Mazda" on it. I hate dealerships!

the words "dealership" and "low cost" don't go in the same sentence, unless modified by a "NOT" somewhere in there.
