As above what's the easiest way to get the anti theft bolts off from the bracket that holds the ignition barrel on?

Cheers

Point well taken!

...although I purchased a Maruti ignition switch and door lockset ($80 US from Roadless Gear) because the previous owner seemed to have a problem with the existing switch... he installed a starter button in the tintop, then threw away the keys!

It's just 4 small digits..I bought a couple of wrecks without keys over the years, and always been able to get keys cut..maybe it's on the drivers side door lock??
