Dan, The truth is that the original locks on just about all AeroCommanders and AeroStars are the same. If you can find someone with a Commander or AeroStar around your field that hasn't had the lock re-keyed, ask for a duplicate. Otherwise, this could be a good time to have a locksmith out to rekey your lock. Many owners have also put locks on the fuel sump drain door to prevent fuel theft. A popular type of lock is the cylindrical key type.

I am going to get a lot of practice brushing up on my sheet metal working skills. Considering the aeroplane has spent all it's life in a damp climate ( New Zealand isn't green for nothing) and always close to the sea ( can't get lost in NZ, just fly E or W for never more than about 70 miles, and you will find a coastline) there is remarkably little corrosion, what there is largely from paint knocked of by flying stone. Best regards, Bill Hamilton.

I had to remake the internals so that the tongue of the lock actually engaged in a slot, the original slot was so worn, and the tongue so worn, that you could open the door even when it was "nominally" locked. If you don't confuse yourself with a 337, ( and I think I can justify such a minor mode under the regs) it will take 30 minutes to put a commercial lock on the fuel drain door. Cheers, Bill Hamilton.
