also funny, I have over 300 different 914 ignition keys from cars we scrapped over the years,. I ALWAYS find one that works, all 911 69 -98 as well as 912 models have the same key blank.

So George...any chance you could send them all to me to try out and I’ll send all that don’t work back and pay you for the one one that does work?

If you need to start Huey, just unplug the wires from the ignition switch, and plug in a different one.

That will work unless you have the steering lock working. Otherwise I would just call a locksmith.

Close... I was ready to call...

And I found them

So let me put this in perspective... keys were on the nail with the clipboard of "to dos" for Huey. Which is on the wall at the workbench that I was doing all the brake lines and calipers on Sunday for Papa Smurf, and Nadine was sitting with the computer doing the spreadsheet of all the work to do.
It was directly in front of us the whole time... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

Make - The - Spare! Better yet, make two spares and keep them with the spares for all the other cars. Once you spend the money for the spares, you will never need them.....

If you make extras don't stick 'em all on the same key ring, I've done that. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Glad you found them. Tough getting older and forgetting where I put stuff. Typically it's my phone, keys, wallet, coffee...... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

We have all our spare keys in a drawer by themselves.
Interestingly I have 2 sets for Papa Smurf..which uses no keys...

I have one blank. Should get another...

It's always jacket pockets. All jackets, all jacket pockets.

That is where I would check.

Or, it's probably on the clipboard hanging on the wall with your to-do list.


Wow, Lawrence was clairvoyant!!

Bob,

When we have keys made for any 914, we always have one made from the lock, and that one is used to make a 1 sided key. It won't work in the lock, so it never wears down, but it can be used to cut new keys for the car.

Make one like that and stick it in your safe deposit box. That way the next time you lose the key, you can have one easily made.
