Check out the local lock smith not the guys in the mall, a proper locksmith
I wanted to keep my orginal keys for the camaro, and brought new ign, door, boot locks with diff keys
they rebuilt the locks to fit, cost me about $NZ 35..pcke up the following day.
A good lock smith should be able to sort a key to fit nps.

It should have FA or FP somewhere on the lock. Need to know which series as well as number. There is a local supplier close to me may have one in stock.

I thought one had been sent by MIke to scott.

The key number is usually stamped somewhere on the shaft or lock and it will have 2 letters and 2 or 3 numbers say FA 231
Look on the internet and find a Wilmott Breeden Key supplier they cost about $5 plus post

I have a #27 key with two (2!) blanks in my hot little hand. I suppose I could copy it and hand it to you at dinner tonight!

Tardy as usual!

G'dday From The Wet South.
Yes it is finally nice and wet down here in Melbourne!

It seems that quite a number of Jupiters had ignition keys featuring the number MRN27. Many years ago, I found a headlamp/ignition switch in a shop. It was new in Lucas box and it featured 'MRN27', a stroke of luck. It is now in my Jupiter which originally was MRN27. the reason for replacing it was because one of the screw terminal posts on the back had broken.

I have also heard that a number of Vauxhalls use the same MRN27 key.

I don't have any spare keys left, but some years ago there was a fellow at the autojumble at the NEC with a large board with quite a number of keys on it. All new old stock and genuine.

I wonder if he is still selling those keys. A genuine key looks so much better.

Regards,
