Hi, does anyone know if the door and ignition lock of R4s are keyed the same. Model year 1962.
Making the most of the aussiefrogs while it is still running 😊
 
No they are two different keys. From memory there is a door key that may have a lozenge shape. A fuel cap key will be different again. The ignition key is a larger circular shaped head of the Neiman brand.

Thanks, have no keys, getting a locksmith to look at the door lock ( relatively easy to remove not so with the ignition lock).
 
ignition key is a big one .... the door keys are little.... Just like the 8, 10, 12, 16 etc.....
 
Got the key for the door lock made, doesn’t want to work on the ignition 😩.
Perhaps I need to use a bigger hammer 😂
Try to get the steering column apart/ out now
 
On 8’s and 10’s it’s almost impossible to remove an ignition barrel without the key. It has a little ball bearing to lock the barrel in place. The 4 may be the same?
