If that doesn't work I can loan you a key when you come and get your hood. Also I found another section of hood so you will just be missing the right side vertical section. :)

Post by: gab on January 08, 2013, 05:11:35 PM: OK I got a key on loan from Clint, it went in and feels like the lock has working tumblers but would not turn. I did not want to put too much pressure on it, I didn't think Clint wanted his key back in Two pieces. The number on this key is C-257 it is a Briggs and Stratton. Does anybody have any other numbers? It might be good to know how many combinations there are, thanks. Greg

The other one I have is C355 and it works. I think i took C257 off a scout car. I know it works and I thought the locks were the same so maybe yours was replaced at some point. We can try this other one next. This other one (C355) was in a restored dash that I bought so I'm not sure it is correct but it looks identical.
