I believe Lorie 03 9717 4400 in the EH holden club has genuine GM key blanks from USA. Same as our GM keys used on the '48  to '71 Holdens at $12.00 ea.
I havn't seen them but saw the add on the EH site

There is someone selling them on Ebay all the time also.

I brought 4 sets off the ebay bloke by emailing him with an offer.  It worked out about $12/key including postage.  I know it's expensive, but what isn't these days?

A bit of a bonus, when I went to the hardware shop to get them cut, they cut them for free because I supplied my own blanks!

Are you sure Lorie from the EH club isn't 'the ebay bloke'? ???

PS:  All the blanks sold by 'the ebay bloke' are the same, he just advertises them under each separate Holden model.

I'm also looking for some key blanks as i have a machine that cuts the keys to G.M code.
Trev,
If you find some blanks and want them cut to code let me know.

I purchased a few sets of keys from the Ebay bloke (Rudi25 or whatever).  After speaking to him, I din't mind th eprice.  He says he is selling the keys as a means of helping to support his son who had a nasty industrial accident for which the compensation was very inadequate.


Cheers
