I have a boot lock handle surplus to requirements, if you want it.

As Peter mentions, this is the Boot-lid Key.

Now that I know what the key looks like, I have an idea of what to scrounge around for. I may have such a device, somewhere. Thanks, Mike

Peter.

It was an L shaped carriage key, because most of the T type keys foul the wheel cover.

Greetings ! It has been quite a while but, the previous owner found some of the Ruby's parts.
           
I think these parts may have been re-chromed. Anyone spy anything of note ? I hope he finds more ! Mike

And, he did. Thank goodness. There are a few things in the box that are thin on the ground over here.  Looking forward to more ! Thanks, Mike
