Key Blank for S601


A gentleman in England recently picked up an S601 without a key and has been trying to get a replacement key made for it. He has gone to several locksmiths but has not had any luck. Palmog mentioned on oddscoot that Fuki in Japan made blanks that fit, but the Fuki blanks are apparently not available outside of Japan.

I pulled the ignition out of one of my parts scooters and took it in to a locksmith. I also brought a key (for a different S601). He said, "leave it here -- it may take me a day or two". He called me back several hours later reporting success. When I went to the locksmith to retrieve my lock and key, I discovered that he'd hand-modified a key blank he had on hand. The blank was an Ilco FT37, which is also used on Fiat, DeTomaso, and (I think) Lamborghini. To make the FT37 fit in the S601 keyway, he had to file a bit of metal off the bottom of the whole length of the key. So...not an ideal solution, but the key I now own works perfectly. I would have bought more blanks to play with, but he wanted $7.50 each, claiming they were obsolete and hard to find. I figured I'd someone on the Web who sells them and then modify a bunch to work on Rabbits.

Re: Key Blank for S601


It appears that Curtis has the same blank, and uses the same FT37 number. Some other equivalent blanks are: Dominion SF5, Taylor F79-1, and Silca AF7A.
