A friend is trying to get a copy of a key for his Austin 14 Goodwood, 1938.
The key is marked "Elmo" and he understands that it was one of a fairly limited batch made by M Mole and Sons of Birmingham. A local locksmith (with a comprehensive range) had no suitable blank.
Has anyone any suggestions on possible sources?

Assuming a blank is unnobtainable, you should be able to get a 1 off blank machined by a small engineering jobbing shop. Mike.
I can't believe they havn't got a blank which could be made to fit. Often strange section keys can be made to fit by removing ridges from standard blanks.

Has he tried
I presume he's tried Beswick's at Allenton? Key cutting and car spares in the same shop, but again I've only used them for modern stuff.
