I didn't buy a compatible blank. I used a copied key and cut and filed it to fit. However, I did see spare blanks on ebay. I have no experience about which one is correct.

at your own risk, the following may be the compatible blank

I have included photo of the 3 flip keys I have tried
The pair on the left I decided to not use long term due to feeling bit sloppy flip mechanism. I am currently using the key second from the right. The key furthest on the right has the incompatible shank. I may use the copied key next to it to make a compatible flip key. Or I may try an ebay blank.
