Important detail overlooked

[bemax]

I have never understood people who have key rings with dozens of keys on them'
A mate of mine has the obvious car and house but then he has garden shed, tool box(x 2) , safe, file cabinet, wine fridge, workshop.
I said to him most of those are at home, no need to carry them away from the home.

Say what you want. I will keep mine

We once visited the family of my sons girlfriend. Her father had a dozen keys on his keyring. Large ones and partially very complicated ones.

It then turned out that he is a "Justiz Vollzugsbeamter": a jail guard.

as long as you didn’t remember exactly that time that his voice has been quiet familiar to you

His voice is anything but quiet.

If the IG key doesn’t come in camo with a built in compass, 1” blade and a pull out toothpick I am going to be pissed.

Oh and if they can have a built in GPS chip for locating it with my phone then that will be well appreciated.

I like a nice keyring but then never use them because they are normally to bulky for my trouser pocket. I find the best ones are those plastic loops with a companies name on them usually and then the ring to hang you key on….nice and slimline.

My keyring is a plain round metal ring with car key, garage remote, and keys for front screen door, front door and holiday house front door.
Nothing more than absolutely needed.

It should be noted that if your car key is part of an overloaded key ring, the steering wheel lock will be destroyed over time. It's a permanent, never ending stress test with a predictable result.

Wasn't meaning the fob, more the key ring attached to it

I thought the fob did away with the need for a key ring? It will for me ~ no extraneous bits must have been part of the design brief.

My understanding is that the ignition switch is key operated. The fob being for the immobiliser/central locking....

Yes it is key in the ignition job and turn.
For Australia that will also need to be done with the left hand as it is on the left side of the steering wheel

Yes. The key is a “blade” housed in the fob.

You will be right with this assumption!

At last!!! a bespoke ignition set up for me "the left hander"!!

This is part of the Pub Kit on the Grenadier kit website. Could be cool if stamped with individual truck details.

I would like a brass version of the IG key ring that will age like the leather, maybe a saddle leather version. either way, it would be cool to have the date that it rolled off the assembly line with what number you are in terms of volume built.

Wasn't meaning the fob, more the key ring attached to it, (I assume the string and cable tie in the pic is not standard spec ).

Do a search on ebay for LR keyring and you'll see the vast array of options the market has developed, just wondered what the official Grenadier key ring will be. Personally would go for a nice embossed strip of that saddle leather.

If you want a nice easy hobby , get some leather + dye + rivets/eyelets from a leather shop and make your own.
You will get requests from others , so beware of your new skill
You may branch out into belts etc.

Back on subject of key fob.
Heavy and chunky but in some way, feels cheap. Can’t put my finger on why.

I got that feeling with a PTO2 I was driving, I just put it being down to a well used PTO2 key. But obviously not. I also assume that it isn't as waterproof, well splashproof that some of the L/R have.
I don't mind it being heavy and chunky as long as it proves durable. What about other grenadier owners? Mine must still be in Hambach, hopefully with a vehicle attached.

There's a decent selection ~ 4 for £20 and free postage... not that I'm on commission...
