I deisagree, but then again I have been known to _make_ the right tool 
rather than mangle the device I am working on.

Might I suggest a well-know search engine called 'google' Typing 'bristol 
spline keys' (without the quotes) into that got a large number of hits, 
many of which seemed to be companies who would sell such tools. Obviously 
I've not tried any of them, but I can't believe nobody has them in stock.

Anyway, earlier in this thread I mentioned you could get them from Farnell.
