My Glove Box Key has given up the ghost!

It's one of those funny round keys that operates using little flimsy metal prongs (which have worn off!).

Any ideas on where I could get a new key or a new lock, since the lock is OK a key is all I really need. Any thought would be most appreciated.

All the glove box keys are exactly the same. Mine did exctly the same as yours and I bought a new one from David Gerald when I bought some new roof seals and a oil pressure sender. I think the postage cost more than the key.

I also think it is the same as the Cerbie power off key or the Keyboard Lock on an IBM PC compatible....

The 520 uses a bit of gaffa tape to stop the glove box coming undone.... saves weight you know.

You could also try a local bicycle shop or locksmith as I think the pattern is the same as keys used on the U shaped bike locks.
