I'll have to find them and see what there made of. All my locks are keyed a like. I'll send you a pair, that way "we" can both have an easy way to your engine
Aw, Sarge....that's EXTREMELY generous of you to offer!

I thought about the rust aspect too but figured sine it would be under the ldeading edge of the hood and since I live in SoCal, how bad could it get before I'd hit it with a touch of AAA steel wool and WD? I'll defintely use stainless sheet metal crews though. Make sure to post a picture thread when you do the mod so I can add pix of my install too.
