Talk Morgan Forums Morgan Sports Cars Morgan Aero 8, 2012< Plus 8, SuperSports, Coupe & Aeromax AeroSS - fuel filler cap key

All my FS keys (from first Land Rover on to latest LR and Morgan) were single sided.
That's not to say there weren't two sided FS keys.

Hi Everyone,

it looks like a key for a disc tumbler lock, not the most secure or complicated.

I'm sure 044 relates to the blank but it doesn't help if the manufacturer is unknown.

The important part is the profile of the keyway, look end on to see it's shape, they are all different. First stop is a visit to a key cutting shop and ask them if they have a blank to match the profile. The manufacturer is unimportant as long as it has the same shape. In Britain Timpsons shoe repairer, who these days do a fair amount of lock work, usually display a board of keyway profiles.

Then it is straight forward job to cut a key using the original as the pattern.

There is also a company www.fastkeys.co.uk who may help.

I have no connection but did spend a lifetime in the supply of locks etc for high end buildings but regrettably not cars. Sorry

Regards

Geof

Every Morgan’s fuel cap key for some years now is number 044! so every owners key will open every other owners’ cap!
So, for once, the Factory and dealers should have one in stock! The factory were/are infamous for losing keys so the filler cap keys were standardised with key no 044.
Incidentally there is a big box of ‘spare’ lost/ recovered keys at the Factory, probably hundreds, many of them Rover plus 4 keys last time I saw them.

I have it already done it in three different ones.
This was why I was asking for different option (beside factory or dealer. I know for sure I can get them there, but I'd miss part of the pleasure).

Ale, I can go to Timpsons and get a copy of my 044 cut and mail it to you....

Ciao Peter, your help is much appreciated.
Let me make a final check next week end (I owe a couple of pics to Alistair as well) and maybe I will bother you for that, only if it's not too much hassle.
Many thanks!

A little late I know but tracking down a spare Morgan fuel cap key blank is a bit of a challenge. Endless Googling keeps bringing up this thread and not much else.
Thought it worth posting the links below to this key I stumbled across.

The little pre-cut key worked for me.

If they are all the same perhaps it is something for Wolf and others to sell??

Thanks Rog! Now I had a copy done by my dealer, but those links and pics are super helpful!
Let me copy here the description of the links, in case they expire.
