Description

MB16P MASTER KEY BLANK
Fits some S and SL MERCEDES BENZ 1969-1979; fits some C, E, D models 1969-1976:
Code Series: HF or NM 1-1200
Important Fitment Note
:  Mercedes used
4 different types
of blanks on their vehicles
1969 to 1979
.
This is the rare plastic-head version of the
MB16P
key. My best advice is to check if your ignition key has one of the following part numbers stamped on it
:
YM17, MB16, M79U, MB35, or YM12.
it has the small flat groove along the
RIGHT
edge and one of these same part numbers, you can be sure its a match.  Keep in mind Mercedes also used a MB15, MB17, and M18
key with different grooves.   If you have no part numbers stamped on your current key, compare it closely to the pictures above as its grooves need to match EXACTLY both back and front.   See pic #4 for other Mercedes ignition keys from the era.  Another clue that this is the right key is if your current working key has a stamped key code on it starting with "HF"or "NM" followed by a number between 1 and 1200.
See the picture #4 and #5 for other Mercedes Benz ignition keys from the same era to double check.   Some LATE-YEAR MODEL 1979 cars switched early to the
S50FHP
high security blank.  This blank looks very different from a standard key.  Check my ebay store for the S50HFP as well as
an all metal version (MB16) of this key as well!
Please ask questions and look closely at both front and back grooves on the pictured key prior to bid as I want you to be happy with your purchase.
Feel free to send me a picture of your current working key if you have doubts.
I am a collector who purchases vintage lots of keys. If you have anything special available, I would love to hear from you.
T
hanks for looking and HAPPY MOTORING!
