Model T Fox steering wheel lock

Owner gave me this steering wheel and asked me to generate a working key. I was told it is from a 1910 Model T. It has a Fox after-market lock. I disassemble it and found, with no surprise, to be filthy inside.I soaked all parts in cider vinegar for 1 week and then filed a key and reassembled. I used a couple small puffs of graphite for lube. Owner now has a properly functioning steering wheel lock.

If you do this as a business you should add the particulars for others that might want to use your services.
 
You are lucky it was off the car and maybe unlocked to start with. Many are still on the car and are a real pain to remove and many locksmiths will not touch them. Nice photos.
