Following my recent FKIT issue, needed a spare pannier / tank / seat lock key.
Tried every local key-cut joint, all to no avail to get a blank that matched.
So, with much trepidation, thought I'd give this lot a go, as seen on Ebay:-

What can I say! Couple of pics taken and mailed, and for £9 plus first class post to get in time for our Basque trip, sorted! :yes:
Works a treat, so if anyone needs a similar service, they're recommended by me! :clap:
Patience is something you admire in the driver behind you and scorn in the one ahead.

They were able to cut you a new key based on a picture of the old one?
