Steering Lock on head tube

Does anyone have good, clear, close-up photos of the steering tube showing the little added part that the ignition steering lock bolt engages? I've got to fab one up and I want to make it like the original.

I've finally hauled my "Project" home from the hanger and when the DPO said he had no keys, he forgot to mention that he had busted off the steering lock weldment on the head tube in order to be able to move the bike. Nice. I love little surprises. I have a feeling I'm gonna be getting a few more. Know what I mean?

Barry:

I give it a try. lighting in the shop is terrible for taking photos and my "fancy" camera's flash wants to overdo it. Hope you can make it out. This one is a little banged up also. I don't think it will be that critical, as no-one will be able to see it.

:? :? I wouldn't take it that far...although, if I was 19 inches taller, have a slightly darker complexion, would wear shorts to just over my knees and my English was a little worse... :D :D :D my talents would probably be good enough to take them elsewhere :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
