Hi Glen,
had the same problem on Puddles. Apparently it is the right height. I solved
it by just running a single key in a split apart in the ignition. You know the
key chains that pull apart. We decided that the best security was to place a
switch in electric side of the fuel pump line. This way if stolen it goes about
a half block and dies. Because you are out in view most thief's will not try to
figure it out. This is where my other keys hang.
