I'm having a heck of a time finding an old fashioned locksmith that can cut a duplicate key based upon an original. They all want a computer code to just have the machine spit it out. I've got the blank for my 71 series 2 e-type. Any help would be appreciated. It's nerve wracking to only have one ignition key.

I took advantage of my 2014 F-Type V8s winter hibernation to swap out the plastic bits with the EuroAMP aluminum replacements. Shout out to the ONCA engineering You Tube series that walks you through this. Even with these videos, there is a lot learning on the fly, and there were dozens of times that I wished I had someone I could reach out to with my questions. This seems like a perfect platform for that so having finally pieced my car back together, I would be happy to talk with anyone doing or thinking about doing this project.

Looking for a source for Imperial Maroon paint.

I've bought three new A/C vacuum switches and I cannot get it to close when the engine is cold to open the flapper valve to route the intake air over the exhaust. Has anyone had success getting this to work? When I connect the vacuum port on the manifold directly to the flapper it opens it as it should. But whether hot or cold the vacuum switch in the air filter box does not allow the vacuum to pass through - it just leaks out. Help!
