With the solex kit there should be a small metal rod that fits in the lock and goes through that slot. I just did one recently. If you can get a second hand bootlock from the wreckers or whever and the key you already have doesnt fit it (should be able to find one that does) then a locksmith can rebuild the lock and make your key fit Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

The solex boot lock is a return-to-centre style, different to the door locks.

Theres two solex lock kits you can buy. One for 2 locks which are just the doors and one for 3 locks that includes the boot. The boot lock is different to the two door locks and returns to the correct place everytime.
