here is my key fob conversion,the blade was made from a freelander key which i got from my local timpsons (the key they cut was a bog standard key without the black platic] posted to a key service in orpington and they made the blade,i got them to make and cut 1 blade and make 2 uncut blades so i could get them cut local in case of any problem of it not fitting,but was ok now i have a spare fob

I bought one of those a while back. However the case I got needs to be glued together, which makes subsequent battery replacement tricky.

I am thinking of using a rechargeable battery solution, but other more pressing projects are getting in the way of that.
 
thats right i had to glue mine,seeing how long the battery last this wasnt a problem because the cost of these fobs it wasnt worth worrying about i will just buy a new one
 
i looked and do not see a problem i have already purchased a spare fob so now i have 2 working fobs and 1 spare fob
 
I superglued 2 nylon pillars inside the one that I bought, drilled and tapped the ends and fitted 2 countersunk allen headed black screws to hold it together. I can easily remove them to change the battery with no risk to the electricals inside.

I like that idea. Pictures please.

Same here pics, instructions, buy one get one free offer would be nice ;)
 
As promised, haven't taken key ring apart, but simply find a space for the nylon spacers, drill the cover to match, fit with screws, apply superglue to ends of spacers and clamp case together overnight. Then unscrew and fit contents. I also used my original freelander key by removing it from the plastic and filling a small channel in it with a round needle file, it then fit into the part shown and I reinserted the 'rollpin' which was holding the new key blank in place. The key blank that came with mine was too short !1531143347918[1].jpg 1531142256640[1].jpgThe National Motor museum sticker is purely because I used to visit regularly, not covering any bodges !!!!
