A file

Very easy to file the key down a smidge. I’m talking 30 seconds with a file.

Mine are perfect. Classic center early style required just a touch as noted above. W124 was perfect. Original w123 key fit perfectly.

Follow his instructions about not overtorquing the fasteners and filling with Loctite or urethane sealant.
