Think of a "Hole Saw" with Industrial Diamond Cutters ,that fits inside a "Hardened" pipe that fits the O.D. of the
Ignition cover plate.

I can tell you for a fact it does not cost 20 dollars for them to make a key for the ignition. If you are to take your car in to the dealer ship or call a locksmith to come out it's 130 at the least to have a key made. 20 dollars is the service call. So how the hell are you gonna change an ignition to match a key without programming, without running a vin, even just easy reading the lock for just 20? That's an insult.
