    As previously mentioned in my Neiman key blank reproduction thread:

    Neiman key blank
    https://r.tapatalk.com/shareLink?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Eferrarichat%2Ecom%2Fforum%2Fshowthread%2Ephp%3Ft%3D503283&share_tid=503283&share_fid=9080&share_type=t

    The Torino/SAFE keys are on their way. First test of "8" passed, need to test others first.

    Same as the Neiman one, these keys are mainly serving as a cheap daily use alternative and not for concurs purpose. So, there are still subtle differences compare with the original.

    Stay tuned...

    your Neiman ones are GREAT, not just a daily use key. I guess this SAFE will be the same

    Great work!

    Thanks Alberto!

    I intend to sell them similarly but a bit higher priced than the Neiman blanks as the tooling and mould costs are higher due to 4 keys involved. We will see.

    Can you tell me what the '8' is for? As can you see, I have this blank with the 8, but my SAFE key number starts with a 2.

    Are they different and why to they have this prefix number if not?

    Thanks, will be interested in the right key from you if so!

    They have different key shaft profiles. An 8 key cannot be inserted into the key hole for a 2 key. So you must get the key blank with correct shaft profile to work.

    Key looks very accurate compared to the original. Well done.

    Thanks, that explains why it would not fit in the hole then!

    I've got to ask a dumb question, but since I don't have an original SAFE Torino key for my 71 Dino, how do I determine whether it needs a `2', a `4', a `6' or an `8' type key blank? I'll be interested in buying a few of the version I need, but...

    By looking at the key shaft profile of your key.

    8:

    2 and 4 are mirrored; 6 and 8 are mirrored.

    To tell apart 2/4 from 6/8. Draw a central line from the head of the key to the tip of the key, you will notice this line will cut across the groove of 6/8 but not 2/4.

    Or you can just look at the tip of the key if it's not too worn out. The groove will cut a portion of the tip for 6/8; while the key groove for 2/4 will not or just barely touches the tip.

    The tip of 6/8:

    Love the fact that a "2" on the key is type SF1 (vs, oh perhaps SF2 to make it a little more clear!). My non-SAFE dupe that came with the car does have SF1 on it and the pattern appears to match the "2" photo, so I will be a buyer of a few "2"'s. Mystery solved!
    Thanks!
