Replacement ignition key blanks

[Pat]

Have been trying to get a spare key for piece of mind, but despite the local key cutter ordering about 4 or 5 different blanks that look right, none have quite been a match. All the closest blanks have been old ducati listings but none have quite worked. He has sent photo's to all the major blank producers but nothing has worked. Any ideas where I can get blanks?My ignition is the left hand side type and it and the key I have are in good condition. Thanks gents.

Tried NLM?

NLM told me that Timpsons stock the right blanks. And they do. The key cutter had to do a bit of fettling to get the key to work, but it cost about £5. The key is Silka AF 5B.

Thanks I'll try both those, local key cutter is a biker and really helpful and has not charged me for 5 attempts so far! Interestingly most of timpsons employees are ex prisoners.

Ref Timpsons staff, maybe codebreakers would be more common amongst them than olde world
e skelington key n'er do-wells?

Edited the above to combat auto correction but see that skelington is still allowed? When we all know it has two 'L's in it. Innit?

Millie has a new life with a younger man on the other side of the county now. I poured TLC and cash her way but as soon as she was healthy I realised I couldn't keep up with her. Still, it was fun while it lasted and I smile when I remember her.
