BEDFORD CF 1974, No Keys?

Hi Everyone!

First post....

We just purchased a 1974 BEDFORD CF autosleeper for £800 as a project to do up over the summer.

Started a blog to keep everyone posted - http://bedfordcf.wordpress.com

The guy we purchased off has no keys but V5 registration.

Is it difficult or expensive to get a new set of locks / ignition?

Thanks,

Tom

That's a nice looking van you've got there.
If you take the ignition switch/steering lock off & take it along to a locksmiths they might be able to find a match for you.
I'm sure there's a thread here about keys & locks.I'll see if I can find it.

There's Dave's blog here that shows how to replace the barrel.
Replacement keys can be bought [url=https://www.wilcodirect.co.uk/product/classic-car-spares-and-keys/classic-car-keys]here[/url] if you provide the code.A phone call to them might be better as someone there might know what it is.

Or you could buy a universal ignition switch for dash mount (or a separate bracket fitted to the column)& remove the steering lock part.

you can adapt land rover keys to fit the door handles . and you could do away with the steering lock altogether and fit a racing car style starting and ignition system in place........
