Key Blanks

**V8VAN** · 05-08-2013, 03:32 AM

Bored at work, looking on ebay and came across these.

Just wondering are they worth it? I've got one set of keys for my van which are a bit worn, plus a spare set would be good.

Absolutely fantastic and well worth the purchase.
I've bought multiple sets from this seller and they will even cut them to GM 4 digit code.
They are press cut (not machine cut) exactly the same as the originals. Turn around time was fast as well.

Thanks mate, might grab a set for the HX. Maybe my LH as well.

Yeah I'll probably just buy the blanks and get them cut locally.

Why? About every second key was the same for HQ-WB anyway lol. I don't think thieves use keys anyway...

Agree. Takes seconds to break into and steal a Holden or Torana, no keys needed!

Not if you take the rotor button out

True, but I took the rotor button out of my HJ after so many starts and stops from 1991 to 2000 that I wore out the bonnet cable. So I removed the door locks and went motorised remote locking, but I bought the cheap kit and, .. the servers wore out, yeah,... it's definitely more difficult to get into now, lol!

Are these the same.

Looks like a nice product.

Les, may I ask you (off topic) have Rares considered replicating steering box attaching bolts for HQ-WB?

Yes we will be making this bolt it also fits the 253 308 head we are trying to make as many bolts for these cars as possible , I cannot say when it will be made as we have so much to make , if you click on the link it will give you some idea of what we are doing with nuts, bolts & clips.
