I am not a locksmith but there must be reasons why they use brass and aluminum keys. Would a stainless key be too hard on the ignition ? At least it would be strong.
The aluminum key was just a test so that I know that my setup and that my dimensions were correct. There were also a couple questions that needed to be answered since the '07 blank is thicker but not as wide. I also had to experiment a little with the slot. Without giving away too many secrets... the slot is not square on the bottom so it's pretty tricky to get right.

I haven't decided whether I'm going to cut my 07 key the manual way or wait till I get a custom cutter made up.

Talking

As stated back on page one or two I'd be in for 1 or 2 keys as well depending the the necessary pocket change to get it rolling.

Thanks for the hard work!

Let me know how things work out for ya.

ps... Don't forget to measure twice and cut once.
Unless your running a business aren't we all here to help each other out? So there really isn't a reason to not give him the dimensions.

He already has all of the dimensions. So do you and everyone else.

All anyone has to do is measure the key that's in their pocket right now.

The dimensions for for the '07 blank were also posted.

If he or anyone else is sharp... They'll figure it out on their own.

There are no secrets regarding the dimensions of the key.

I'm sure that you and perhaps some others might feel that I sound like a total jerk by my reaction and I do want to help but...
I'm just not going to give away the farm.
