Who wants a flip key? - Page 27

markvirgo · 8th March 2008, 19:53

i would be interested in that service. What would you charge for a key to be done and returned via special delivery?

i have already ordered the housing from alex.

Giggy · 8th March 2008, 20:38

Gray52 Have you a price! as i would love to take that fitting service.

gray52 · 8th March 2008, 22:39

ive broke down the cost and it looks like this:-
flip key £10, key cut £8, do the mod £15, and sd post £5. i would only beable to get the key cut on a wednesday or friday as these are my days off. im still thinking on this.

I would CERTAINLY take you up on that offer.

I've already got the housing ordered, but would be willing to pay the rest.

Looking at doing it myself, and the key cut/housing chopping I'm happy with. But it's the wiring and moving the transponder.

I'm of course not accusing that you'd do anything untoward (and would send you the whole key myself) but if people are unsure of doing this, maybe you could offer doing the insides only and people get their own key cut (they'd have to open the key up and send you the insides without the actual key.
Do you think this would be an idea to ease some minds?

You could always get the key returned to a friends house that way anyone finding it would not have the cars home address.

Sat down this weekend to do mine, had the key cut Friday and got the soldering iron out Friday night.

Whilst the flip fob was in pieces I went round it with some very fine emery board and took off all the rough edges and polished over the whole fob so it felt smooth.

Then I got out the dremel and took out the obstructing bits so the remote fob fitted in nicely.

Out came the soldering iron and the transponder came of nice and easy (marking with a pencil which side was which)after the glue was warmed by the iron.

Dremel the outer remote case with a 2mm drill bit creating a 2mmx3mm channel for the wires to come through and cut away the rubber inner to match.

Soldered two bits of kynar wire about 15mm long to the board and soldered the transponder to it.

Put the remote part back together and mount in the fob. then stuck a foam pad in the back and screwed it back together.

Polished the key with a fine emery board and a polishing wheel.

Tested and working a treat. Thanks to all that have gone before me for the tips.

Looks much better

Thanks.

Yup, works a treat and much nicer than the original 1 day old donor key fob

dudesterlang · 11th March 2008, 20:31

Do these look the same as the Gray 52 version.
I'm losing track of who is planning to possibly convert these for people.

gray52 · 11th March 2008, 22:29

yes it is the same, but ive polished mine to give it a gloss finish.

Jack The Lad. · 11th March 2008, 22:50

So, do you fancy doing a few then gray.
Between doing the fog light covers and earning a living of course.

Has to be a little earner. ?

mfosbrooke · 11th March 2008, 23:03

i really want to get my hands on one of these. Can you let me know the final price when you are able to get some time to do these because i can imagine how long the cue is for one. Also does the civic come with 2 keys? im picking mine up tomoz so not got to see it yet.

Jack The Lad. · 11th March 2008, 23:11

Yes, it comes with two keys.
Should be done in alphabetical order. My names Amos.
