Random Musings from the past: Did you know? F50 key blanks work in 3x8s

In the mid 2000s I acquired an F50 key blank as the guitar style key. It was similar but not the same as used in 355s, 550s, 575s, and it looked very nice while still not being as bulky as the later 360/Enzo style keys. Even the 360CS key, while smaller/slimmer, was huge in comparison to the OEM folding key. The F50 key was also very strong/well made, without issues of cracking I have come across on some 355/550 replicas.

If you ever come across a blank, I highly recommend it! This key is still with my long sold/traded 328, last I was aware. Still have the cheapo keychain, though....complete with a patina of ~18 years of ownership.
