Original keys...............

[richard1]

is there a source available for original oval keys for the early 240Z ?

I took a look at your profile to guess what you mean by "early" 240Z. Looks like you have a '72, which is not an "early" 240Z. I note this because I have seen repro key blanks from Singapore on eBay for the true "early" 240Zs - i.e. the '70 and early '71 cars, a.k.a. "Series 1".

But I have not seen or heard of a source for correct original blanks for later '71 and up.

I am speaking of the oval or round key for the model produced 04/72. The key is round with black background enhancing raised "NISSAN MOTORS" letters.

That's what I thought. That is the later, double-sided key that fits all the locks on the car. It was used from 1/71 on. I have not been able to find a source for these.

Mike, he's looking for factory blanks, not aftermarket.

I am speaking of the oval or round key for the model produced 04/72. The key is round with black background enhancing raised "NISSAN MOTORS" letters.
