Call Zims 800.356.2964 I think they can cut a key if you have the number. Also you can try Dan at Tweets Restoration. viewtopic.php?f=19&t=44087

If you can get key code from kardex most any locksmith can cut one for you. Worked for me, I was surprised and pleased.

Ingemar,
The easiest way to to get a key is to take the lock cylinder to your local locksmith. I recently did that
and I had 2 new keys in a couple of days. The keys aren't original Porsche keys of course, but they work nicely.
For a 356 C the key is Porsche style GZ. Equivalent are ilco H64E, Silca DM7 and Taylor P73X. Someone
with aftermarket C glovebox keys could help verify this info.
eBay has a listing for two Taylor P73X for $9.99 including shipping. Item # 1449868546. Your local locksmith
may have these in stock for less.
