keys

[kendale]

Hi
Just recd this email from the states and I can honestly say i dont have a clue can anybody answer this question,

I have been asked to rekey the 4 door locks, fuel cell and baggage locks on
a AStar350 Helicopter from the original key to another keyblank on the ILCO
NE9, which fits the lock.. I believe the Helicopter is made in France for
American Eurocopter and assembled here in the states.

The original key has NEIMAN 35237 on it. I don't know what the original key
number is but a duplicate I want to key to is on the ILCO NE9 keyblank.

I am trying to locate a wafer keying kit for these cylinders.

Have you had any experience with these Neiman type wafer cylinders or would
you know someone who might be able to help me?

I asked on Clearstar a couple of weeks ago but received no help.

Thank you,

Do Fiat keys work in everything? I had a friend with an old Moto Guzzi (sp?) that he could not seem to find the key blanks for - ended up being the same thing, I think.

I know just about zilch about automotive - especially European automotive - but I would take a stab and guess that it might be easier to find wafers for a Fiat than for a helicopter and that they might actually work.

Good luck - hopefully someone with some actual experience will pitch in.
