Interpart louver key
Looking for a way to turn these louver locks.

I made one out of a piece of radiator hose clamp with a sement ground off in a bench grinder so that two ears stick out. Hope that made sense.
70 240Z HLS30-00907, 1/70, wiper motor 97 Accord, Dave's harness mods, turn signal relay mod, quartz movement in clock, map light fixed, connectors cleaned/greased, 60A alt w/ NOS voltage regulator, weatherstrip replaced, defroster grid replaced, undergoing rust prevention. Previous owner of 71 240Z, 8/71, HLS30-41545, last seen in Sacramento painted blue (originally orange) has anyone seen it?
I have a set of those louvers as well, sorry I don't have a spare key but I made a quick drawing of mine if it helps.

You're welcome. If you make one try and use a fairly hard piece of steel so it won't twist too easily. I hit my key with a file and it barely made a mark, maybe use a flat piece of spring steel.
Good luck.

My lower side mounts (with the lock) have been damaged by a previous owner using a screw driver. Anyone have any suggestions on how to restore or replace them? Can't seem to find interpart louver parts anywhere.
My louvers are not currently on the car, as I am planning to clean them up and sell or trade them. Now is as good a time as any, so I'm just starting to disassemble the locks for cleanup. I will report back with what I find.

Here are couple of pics of the Interpart lock assembled and disassembled. I am currently learning how to use Solid Works and I'm getting tired of doing tutorials so if it would help to have a 3D cad model/drawing for any of the lock parts I don't mind doing it as a learning experience. Let me if this is of interest and which parts are broken on your locks. These are plastic parts so maybe they could be 3D printed if the resolution is high enough.
Now that I have cleaned out the fine dirt from the locks it surprising how much better they function.

My Z had a louver, I think it was an Interpart but don't remember. I took it off because it scratched the glass. The scratch is still there.

I'm never serious unless I should be.
you can buff the glass with some meguiars mirror glaze on low speed and take that scratch out...

I found someone who is making the keys for Firebird louvers and ordered one. Got it today. How is that key supposed to fit into the louver lock?

Pointy end down.
If it's the proper key, it should fit into the lock slot opening. Then, just a twist to release the lock cam. If it's too wide, or too thick, wrong key. Does it look like the one in the picture and drawing above?
