russw69 does your key still flip the same way as the original.

QuoteI ordered one of the flip keys from ebay, and knocked out the roll pin filled and drilled my old key to same shape and fit into flip case, job done!

Be nice to no what drill bit you used and size, also how you shape a key via a file what type of file.

regards redarrow.

can you type a how to cheers.

Think drill bit was about 3mm just tried it the origanal hole to check, and used a 8mm round file with the the 2 keys clamped together in the vice. I would be willing to do this for other members by return of post if they supply the flip key and old key for there car.

A dremmel would probably do the job quicker than a file.

russw69, i done my flip key, come out perfect today was fun.

You no the little badge on the back, did you make that or was it standard.

Regards redarrow.

ps.Your probably notice the pin that holds the key in, get lost or drilled out, i used a old brake spring and snipped to size, fitted very well.(just letting you all no)

1.I got the flip key in the post.

2.I took the flip apart ,then took the key pin out of the existing blade bracket end.

3.I pulled the blank key blade off, then i taped my own car key to the blank key.

5.Put them both in a vice taped,i snipped some metal off the top with pliers then used a file to replicate the blank shape onto my car key edge.

6.put my key in the metal bracket hole,drilled a small hole 8mm, from the blank bracket tru to my own key, then added a new pin to hold the key on the bracket.

7. added the transponder, then added the end keyring bracket, closed altogether and added the new screw to the back of the flip, then tested all perfect.

hope that helps good luck.

I wouldnt think there would be a lot in it, the space where the blade goes when folded hadto be widened on mine where I suspect it didnt on the other one, in all from starting with the two keys to having the fully built flipkey took me around 1 hour 45 mins using a dremmel.

Here mine. Took me about the same time (1hr 30ish) with my dremel. Quite easy to do and looks great  :-) :-) :-)

Hi there, only relatively new to the forum and only seeing this now. Is the work to the actual key something I could just get done where I get my keys cut?

Sorry if that's a silly question lol

I wouldn't have thought so buddy, they are pretty much set up to do their job which takes a couple of minutes compared to this which is more by eye, wouldn't hurt to ask I suppose, and thinking about it with the amount of cars coming with flip keys now shouldnt someone be selling flipkey blanks. As a foot note mine is still going strong.
