16v "pill" key

[indiana_red@hotmail.com (Ken Bates)]

Yeah,  this is what I did kind of.   My 16v parts car came with a "Pill key"
and so I swapped lock cylinders. Its kind of cool I think to drill the
aluminum casing of the lock cyl. in just the right place and push the button
and out comes the lock.  Actually with a little experiance this would be
dangerously easy.......All some unscrupulous person needs is a cordless
drill with a 3/16" bit and there own lock cyl w/ key.
