Hi,
My spider came with one set of keys. It is simple to have new ones made? Are the blanks available?

Try a smaller long established local locksmiths and they may well have the equipment to do it and blanks (gathering dust), they will usually have to specifically set up the machine for the job so they will probably be happier if you but a couple of new keys to make it worth the bother

thanks for that. so no "known" supplier. i'll take them along to a few classic car shows too. i was hoping the previous owner would find the spaers he had. but i suppose he has no reason to look now.

There's a key cutter in Australia that will cut new blanks from photos. They're not genuine Lancia blanks but they're prety close.

http://www.keys4classics.com/

He'll also tell you what they key codes are.

I'ver used him twice and he's pretty good. If you find something local then great (I didn't) but if not at least you have a fall back option.

there are suppliers as others have said but many

 old established places do have the kit to do it so best to all locally first
