Default Require key 'blank' for ignition switch

All,

I have the standard (Van's provided) Left, Right, Both, magneto switch. Unfortunately, I've lost one key and the locksmith tells me that I'm unlikely to find a 'blank' locally (New Zealand).

Any idea where I can get a blank to have a new key cut?

Thanks

Aircraft Spruce, P/N A-3546-A $3.95. I couldn't find one anywhere else. I think it is custom to ACS (which isn't Aircraft Spruce).

That is probably the same blank I ordered (several) so that I could have backup keys on trips.

I had my locksmith make up a set-up so that my cabin lock and my ignition switch use the same key!

I had keys cut at an ACE Hardware, they had the blanks. I believe they are the same blanks as many small cabinet locks.
