Who is a good source to cut the keys from the original numbers. I know that my one key is an original, and I would prefer to just have a new one made from the original key number for both the glove box and the ignition key.

Better yet, you can get old original keys to match your numbers. There are 2 guys who have rounded up used keys and NOS keys and sell them by the numbers.
Nice to have a set that is the real thing (with the Union/Wilmot Breeden name) rather than the locksmith variety.
Pete Groh -- https://britishcarkeys.com/
George Richardson -- couldn't find a link
You may need to contact both to find your number.

I found this in my 'archives'...

Pete Groh here, Ellicott City, Md I get the TR digest and saw your question on keys, FS series. The blank you are looking for in Curtis, UN 18; Taylor & Dominion S71B; Ilco BR16.
I cut key by code, cost is $10.00 each; un-cut american key blank; $4.00. I also have the orginal wilmot breeden keys, letters/numbers stamped on same. Cost is $15.00 each.
Keys can be located in old locksmith shops, hardware stores. I have found the key also in Farm type Feed stores. The key is also used on early Volvo's. If your travels take you to Phoenix, try Todd's as below. I have a web page at https://britishcarkeys.com
If you order from me, make check payable to Pete Groh.
Hope this is of some help, Best regards and happy holiday. [/QUOTE]
I've purchased keys from both Pete and George -- both are doing a real service to our hobby.
P.S. That message is 6 years old so the prices have probably changed.

Thanks George,
I knew this group could handle my request. I am so glad that Tom and TeeYah directed me here.
