The owner at triple-C.com has all the original wilmot keys by code number - he can make a copy of any of them !
I also bought an original FNR5 for a Jaguar gas door from them.
Also, most of these keys will work in multiple locks due to advanced age of locks and keys.
Opened Jaguar door with worn MGB key ---

55 BN1
64 MGB
Phase 1 BJ8s used FP series keys, Phase 2 used FS series.
A survey of the BJ8 registry for 9,475 cars shows 77 different FS keys were used from FS.833 to FS.979.
This reminds me of when I was in high school and I discovered that the key to my '55 Chevy would start my grandpa's '57 just fine.
---------------------
Our friends with a '66 MGB they bought new lost their last ignition key. Just on a lark, I suggested trying the keys from my '66 BJ8, and one of them worked.
