Default Keys for Eckel Roof Rack

I have just received and fitted a NOS Eckel roof rack and Oris bike carrier for my 928. Unfortunately the original owner (who never fitted the rack) is unsure of what the keys may look like.

Does anyone have a photo of the keys for the Eckel rack so I can at least get him looking for the right key set among his hoard?

PS - he has a surf? board attachment for the rack if anyone was interested (its no use to either of us).

Thanks
Myles

Go by your local RV parts place and ask for a CH751 key. These are the very common keys used on RV storage door locks etc and also widely used worldwide. For some reason it sticks in my mind that it also fit my 928 Rack.

You can also get them on Amazon.

I agree Rob. It never ceases to amaze me what people know about the most obscure items relating to these cars.

FWIW the keys for my 928 rack fit, but do not operate my 944 rack. So the search goes on for those LOL
