Key Blank?

[Jeff B]

What's the best source for key blanks these days?

Maybe something a little cheaper than Jenn-yoo-whine but a little nice than the locksmith's blanks.
I do like the large handle of the OE type

For a '97 D90 ignition.

ILCO/SILCA is a key blank manufacturer, the all metal blank (brass material & chrome plated) part number is X157. The rubber headed SILCA blank number is LF10P.
The rubber headed versions of this blank made ( LF10P )but they are out of production.
This was a very common "key profile" (view of the key blade from the tip) for many years with only variations of the blade length. Here are some images.

Several of ILCO/SILCA blanks are very similar and only would require the tip to be altered and/or the "shoulder" to be cut back.

Since this is an older blank ( LF10P ), locksmith shops that have been around a long time/established may still have the SILCA rubber headed versions ( LF10P ) of blank kicking around since there are few customers for them any more.

Quick eBay search, "key blank LF10P", found this. And this is a box of 25 blanks.

Also try google, SILCA LF10P

Here is a company in Florida and a list of some cross reference numbers. Maybe give them a call them about this blank.

For such a generic key used by millions of British Leyland etc cars for over 25 years it surprises me people are willing are wiling to pay so much for a basic product. Viton has the right idea here.

Just bought a spare for my Disco from Triple C. They've been in the English car business for a long time.
