I have a spare.  Don't know alum from steel, but it says Curtis on it and V
33.  this is for ignition.  Had it made a a key shop a couple of years ago.
I have a rubber fishingbobber on my antenna for decoration(like a big
Jack-in-box head) only bigger and i slide a key on the antenna and then the
bobber and slide it all the way down to the nose cone.  you can't see the
key and I like the bobber.
