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
