Blank Keys?

Post by Merlin » Thu Oct 18, 2012 3:04 pm

I need to get a couple of spare keys made up for my 4th gen. What style do I need or is it a case of anything will do?

u can buy the honda blanks from ebay (think its a guy in ireland that does them) for about £6 and then take that into any key cutting shop.

Had some cut recently. The key cutters will have the blanks.

I made the mistake a few years ago of buying some blanks from ebay and then asking my local key cutters to cut them. They wanted more to cut two keys I supplied them with than if I asked them to cut two of their key blanks (including the cost of their keys!) :?
