Manstein Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 I'm told replacement keys for these caps aren't easily available from third party locksmiths and have to be obtained from Newton. Any club members have experience of replacing these keys?Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SM25T Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Look at the Newton website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manstein Posted September 24, 2018 Author Share Posted September 24, 2018 I was aware of the Newton website but looking for alternatives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim S Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Not too sure what a Newton fuel cap is - is it the standard Caterham item with the little lift up flap? If it is try your local locksmith - mine provided a spare key from stock. Thompson's and a local cobbler who also does keys sucked their teeth and said no chance.

Manstein Posted September 24, 2018 Author Share Posted September 24, 2018 That's the one. I believe Newton charge a lot for replacements so I was wondering about alternatives. I'll give my local locksmiths a visit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stridey Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Newton’s customer service was abysmal when I requested a key. I wanted a second one, so I had the number reference on it to make things easy.They said ‘spare keys are not a priority”. I went to Metro Locks spoke to Chris von Cossel who sorted me out while I waited at their offices in Tottenham. http://Www.metrolocks.co.ukThis was after trying Timpsons and a few local locksmiths.The blank is an odd one. I’ll have a little search and see if I can find the name/manufacturer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stridey Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Found my previous thread post ....Should a local key cutter offer a similar service you need the generic Silca LF30R blank. Not sure if they can cut only from key/lock code though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
