Single Key Retrofit???

Is it possible to leave the double key system and move up to a single key from the 4th gen camaros? are the locking cylinders even close enough to swap out? I figure the newer keys require longer cylinders. Just curious.

Maybe the 1998 later cars had single keys, but my 1997 Z28 has double keys just like y 1992 RS

Re: Single Key Retrofit???

If you have t-tops that lock, you're talking about swapping 6 total lock cylinders, 7 if you have the locking storage cover over the trunk well. The seems like a lot of work when two keys fit on one ring. I would think you would be able to do it, just a matter of keying all the cylinders the same. But like I said, it seems like a whole lot of work
