Yep, the black horsey key is cool, available for the old 308's as well. Dave is right about the cutting process. I took mine to my household locksmith, I told him it was steel...no problem, just a slower cutting procedure. |

William, order the F40 ignition key blank, it has a black plastic end with a metal horsy imbedded in it..very pretty, around $50 or so. It is a steel blank, so not a lot of shops want to cut it, as it will be hard on their cutter. |

be careful when you get your blank cut. they're weirder keys than most locksmiths are used to. i'd take it to a serious locksmith store - not to the key-guy at sears, home depot, or your local hardware store. i took one to a local locksmith who i was told was an idiot. he screwed up the cut - the key flipped out of the machine while he was working on it - not tight enough, wrong machine - whatever. you know how much the damn blanks cost. he wouldn't start cutting it until i agreed with him that he wouldn't guarantee a working result. i should have walked of course, live and learn.

You might try either www.sodacoms.com (F-Chat sponsor) or www.italiancarparts.com
I purchased a spare set for the 308 from Ital. Car Parts -- the ones with the black handle and chrome cavallino (one for the doors/ignition and one for the fuel door).
I purchased a set for the TR from www.foreigncarsitalia.com -- the original Ferrari items with folding key handle.
Hope this helps.... |
