Default Where do you get crank keys from?

Just noticed that my new crank does not have the keys installed in the key ways. Where can I get these from?

Go to a parts store and ask for an assortment of woodruf keys. Heck you may even try to see if it is even in the computer. If not, just get the assortment and use one that fits.

Thanks for the info guys. Also I just remembered that I have an old 350 crank that was cleaned several years ago and it has the keys still in it. Arre BB and SB keys the same?

Thanks
Wade

Pretty sure the BB keys are larger than the SB. The SB is probably the same at least 68-99. BB is probably the same throughout the Gen 1 lifespan. Maybe the newest ones too.
