The problem comes if the blank is 'restricted'. ...
I would be surprised if the blank for the 11/05/GT40 key was restricted.
It's not; IYWR I recently had a bunch of 11/05 keys made for people here, and
it just used a standard blank. (In fact, there were several

If you want a real key challenge, try those used by mid-90s IBM AS/400s.
They were electronic; a lozenge-shaped slab of plastic with a bunch of
