I tried to buy blanks here 2 years ago. Unfortunately the guy went into the hospital the same week i ordered. He told me to wait. I waited 6 months. Tried to make contact.  No response. Gave up and found the  blank I wanted on eBay.

🤷‍♂️

You may start with talking to the dealer or Classic Center. A 000 760 04 06  is the master key part number for 113044 until chassis 0 12689 and it is available. There are several other part numbers - some available, some not, but I would try there.

However: the original master keys from the dealers are of not the best quality, to be honest. They have three parts, you put them together and they do not hold very well. I found much better replacement keys at a corner key shop.

Lots of information in our Technical Manual about the keys...

@BenzDr

I have a feeling you might be correct. The website is no longer there.   I had to dig up an old archived snap of it here. It’s dated 1-24-20. 😳😳😱

If the OP has an original key with the manufacture and or code stamped on the key they could cross reference on the archived website. From there search eBay for a blank. That’s basically what I did.
