Gee, and here I thought it was only me! Both of my Notches had separate
keys for door and ignition, but I was told it was because of 
replacement tumblers. When I got my '73, it didn't have door keys at
all. I pulled the right (passenger) handle off and took it to a VW
dealer. They said that it wasn't off a VW, to which I said you wanna
bet? Took the guy outside to the Notch, he said that it weren't like any
VW he'd ever seen. They had the blank, but didn't have the "code" to cut
a key for it. I had to take the blank to a Porsche dealer, of all
things, who were more then happy to cut me a key for $40. One more
reason to say that Type III's are more related to Porsches than anyone
knows. RMMW has blanks in their last catalog, but none of their profiles
were the same as mine.
