Ok, I'v got a 1953 zwitter witht he original ignition switch but I dont have a key! so far I have been around to every VW supplier who claims to be able to cut keys, no one can do it! I've so far sources a correct key blank and I have had my P code looked up and changed into a 4 digit code for cutting but still no one can cut my key! So who can cut a P series key to the 4 numbered lock code? I dont have the original to copy from. I Feel like I'm getting nowhere with this, there must be someone who can cut the key to the lock code. Just to reiterate, I have the original ignition, a new blank P Key, the P code and the 4 digit coed this translates to for the lock/ key cutting, but I cant find anyone who can cut to a code?!?! Please help! Dan

Marcus Raeke (also known as "Beetlekey") in Germany does them. You just need the P-code from the ignition switch & leave the rest to him. He's also well-known for providing vintage carpets & seat fabrics and can be trusted. He did the seats & carpets for the Grundmann's '38. I'm sure he used to have a website, but I can't seem to find it. You could contact him through one of his ads on The Samba, eg.:- https://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=1613339 Dave
