Hey gang..

Anyone still cutting keys for our cars in alberton area?
Spoke to a couple, but they don't keep stock or haven't got at the moment... Yaaaaaaaaaaaawn..

My little guys party a little too much in my waaaaay from finished project and broke the key off in the ignition!

I've managed to get the tip out with my wife tweezers thank goodness, so have full sample but no supply.

Thanks in advance.
Rick

try the old school shoe makers that are usually next to a Checkers or P&P - well they used to be in the 90's

Otherwise Autostyle has various blanks

Sharp oom Zeeeee!
You right late 80's early 90's had a all in one just about everywhere...
Gosh.. I'm 40 this year and I still remember those shops were predominantly kitted blue and yellow... Still remember those big buffer machines etc..

Is the correct term an "s" type casting or something like that for the key?

What model Beetle is it? I might be able to help with a blank. Maybe post a pic of the key

If you don't come right Deons Locksmith on Ontdekkers rd in Roodepoort is quite good.

@ Tony: no disrespect meant by the oom thing.
But your mechanical knowledge leave us in
Awe!
@ Beetlepower: the bug in question is a 75 "s" the curved
front window type. You would be an
absolute legend! I'll submit a picture, but
find I cock-up the loading but, could I
mail you one?

hehe sorry for the hijack, but my son 16 is banned from my garage when I am not there. he mixes up liquids that are not supposed to be mixed, I might come home one day and find a huge crater where my house used to be.
and also leaves it in a mess.....
