Replacement keys for a 83 Mondial

Assuming an 83 Mondial is the same as an 84 Mondial, the ignition key blank is an Ilco FT46 X152 (I think either of those numbers -- FT46 or X152 -- is enough for a lock shop to match). The key blank is also used for 86-87 Yugo, 1981-89 Alfa GTV6, 1981-83 Fiat Strada, etc.

As for the door locks, I'm not sure yet....from looking at the car, it appears that the exterior door handles are shared with the similar era Alfa Romeo Spider, but I have not yet confirmed that they share the same keyway/key blank. Ask me in a week or two, once I get to making duplicates for those.

buy some Ft46-x152 blanks off ebay and have a local locksmith copy them.

Check your existing key. Are the cuts on one side only or on both sides? The FT46 / X152 keys ...

... are double sided and I expect you will discover they will not work. Ferrari did not generally start the use double-sided keys until 1989. The most likely correct key for the ignition on the ‘83 Mondial is the Silca NE9A ... (back in the day also had the mark “Neiman” on the key head).

The most important thing is to first determine if your current key is single sided or double sided.

also have double sided keys as well for Ferrari model years 89-2005

 

I have spares made from Ft46-X152 for my 85 & 88 mondials, my 94 348 spyder and had them for my 90 348...they all work

 

As I stated. The most important thing to determine is if you have a single or double sided key. Ferrari transitioned to double sided keys around that time frame and one needs to take care.

 

Well, in my case, I don't have an original key (car came from an estate; key was missing).

If I look inside the lock, the pins are all on one side, so it's a one-sided lock; however, the key blank is a 2-sided key blank, and it fits in the keyway perfectly. It's cut the same on both sides, so I can put the key in either way. This is the same way most of my other contemporary cars' (Subaru, Fiat, Ford, etc) keys work -- 2-sided keys with one-sided locks so you don't have to worry which way the key goes in.

So I guess that, in the case of my Mondial at least, Ferrari transitioned to the 2-sided keys (much) earlier than '89.
