Good evening. hoping for some help.

i think my baby daughter has wandered off with the keys to my 1987 alfa sprint and dropped them somewhere imaginative (i sure as heck can't find them after searching for a week). kicking myself because i've twice ventured forth to have spares cut but the first time i didn't have the $40 that was to be charged on me and the second time i was told they didn't have the correct blank.

anyway, I've found a locksmith who thinks they have the right blankl and who will be able to come out and cut a new key, but i'm hoping someone here will be able to point me in the right direction to buy a couple of blanks just in case i come across the 'we don't have one on us' line again.

any help is greatly appreciated.

On a different tack:  you could find out from an Alfa wrecker how much for a complete set of new door locks with keys?
Current Alfas:  Alfa 159 3.2lt Q4; Alfetta GTV6; ES30 SZ (all V6s!);  2015 4C LE.
Past Alfas:      '02 156 2.0lt JTS; '84 Alfetta GTV6; '82 Alfetta GTV 2.0; '85 Alfa 33 1.5 GCL single carb

I bought blanks for my Montreal on ebay. There's a guy in the US that specialises in original blanks.

the one key did the ignition and the doors.

i've checked the guy on ebay and it does not seem to be too hard to get them for montreals, 105s and spiders, but sprints/suds/33s seem s to be a different kettle of fish.
