yeah you need to remove the existing key from the flip key by pushing out a pin. then cut/file down your key so it matches the end thats inserted into the flipping bit. then with the use of a friend hold said mk2 key in place and with a tiny drill bit drill through so the pin you pushed out will relocate back into the flip mechanism therefore holding your key in place.

Got one sat on me desk waiting to be done but i aint got round to it yet

ebay!!!!!!!!!!!

it's easy to do
1) open the key half way and see the pin.
2) push that out and remove the old blade
3) cut off the rubber that's on the proper key so you're left with just metal
4) mark onto proper key where the blade that you removed ends.
5) trim off XS metal so the proper key (now just the unique part) slides into the flip key
6) insert and carefully drill down the hole. this'll add the small ridge the pin you removed in step 1/2 slide into.
7) flick key in and out for several hours until the novelty wears off... :D
