Hi so I got tired of having to constantly replace the oem plastic key head on the original key. So I had a shop make me a few sets of billet key heads. I figured i would try and help the community out. They are plug and play. Billet aluminum with two stainless bolts. These will last forever. They will come anodized black or clear. If there is alot of interest ill think of doin another design
Price will be $30 shipped
email is konradwaks@hotmail.com
Old crappy oem part

RE: Mercedes Billet Key Heads for Sale - willbhere4u - 11-15-2013
If you could figure out how to put a Mercedes logo on them and anodize them black they would be bitchin
RE: W123 Billet Key Heads for Sale - Simpler=Better - 11-15-2013
You sir, are a genius!
Make sure you cross post this in Diesel Discussion over on PeachParts-those guys are always snapping key heads off
Alum wouldn't like the small screws too much, maybe rivets?
If you wanted a black head get an alum one, send it out for anodizing, then have a shop engrave the star on it. Assuming good sized runs, anodizing would be probably $5-10 each, engraving maybe $10-20
RE: Mercedes Billet Key Heads for Sale - OM616 - 11-15-2013
Very Nice!!!
I got fed up and made a stainless head and welded the key to it lol.
RE: Mercedes Billet Key Heads for Sale - konradwax - 11-15-2013
They will be anodized in two colors. Black and clear. I cant put an Mercedes emblem, I have heard stories with Mercedes legal getting involved with their trademarked logo

The way I look at its a one time deal with the ss bolts and aluminum. No need to loosen them once the key is installed. I couldn't find aluminum bolts that size.

Screw rivets, tig it all together
RE: Mercedes Billet Key Heads for Sale - Simpler=Better - 11-15-2013
My apologies, I can't read-the heads ARE aluminum already :p
free bump!
RE: Mercedes Billet Key Heads for Sale - sassparilla_kid - 11-15-2013
I've been thinking about doing this with some plain 'ol steel, then cold bluing the head

(11-15-2013, 03:09 PM)sassparilla_kid I've been thinking about doing this with some plain 'ol steel, then cold bluing the head
I wanted to make one that resistant to weather and time. Hence aluminum and ss.
Also figured steal heads would be cold in the winter my aluminum doesn't get cold that easy

That makes sense

Just a rough cut of another design I might do
RE: Mercedes Billet Key Heads for Sale - konradwax - 11-21-2013
Update! The final design is complete. I will keep it to one design due to it being to expansive having multiple designs. You can choose either black or clear anodize and what style bolts. Phillips or allan. Once i have a full run done and they are anodized i will then start selling them. Now that I have the design figured out, im estimating them complete by Wednesday next week
RE: Mercedes Billet Key Heads for Sale(Final Design) - Onedakine - 11-21-2013
Right on! I was just looking at this thread... I didn't love the first ones. These however are well refined. I'll take one in Allen.
RE: Mercedes Billet Key Heads for Sale(Final Design) - konradwax - 11-21-2013
Pm answered. Yeah I like these a lot more
RE: Mercedes Billet Key Heads for Sale(Final Design) - Onedakine - 11-22-2013
I like this design, but if at all posable... Don't have the engraving lines go through the Mercedes emblem engraving.
That would really make a major difference in overall fit n finish.

The reason for having the lines go thru the logo is it allows me to sneak past the copyright issue with the emblem

The buyers can always fill in the engraved parts with sharpie or nail polish and leave the "non mercedes decorative circle pattern" silver to highlight it.
