Guys,
I jumped in my spider today for a sunny day run and the key broke right off in the ignition like it was made of butter. I had to disconnect the battery to get the buzzer to stop! Any suggestions for getting the rest of the key out of the slot?

Brilliant! Took a coping saw blade and broke off the end so the teeth pulled out, that got it far enough out that I could grab it with needle nose pliers.124JOE wrote:a thin scroll saw blade broken off so the teeth pull out .if this works put the saw under the key pushing the tumblers down when it grabs the key pull it out
