Spare Keys

Post by albertramsbottom »

I need some spares

Is this a ordinary key at any key place or are they a litle more difficult to get?

The keys from the USA on ebay are a tad flimsy tbh.

2 for £10 at my local Timpsons, which was the last place I checked after 3 cutters said they couldn't get blanks for such an old vehicle!

hi ,
i got keys cut for 3 quid each in the uk last time i was there .but bear in mind it was for a 1980 bus .my 1988 bus has central locking so dont really know about them but over here in germany the normal cost of a key is about 5 euros and for a bus it is about 7 but all the kays i've had cut work fine . hope this helps.
