[V8] Spring loaded key

[Scott Simmons]

OH geez, I'm not interested in going to center-cut.  Way too much work. 
:)  I just saw a few "outside cut" flip-keys on eBay and it got me 
thinking.  I know there are different types of outside-cuts throughout 
VAG products.  Some have different "steps" on them.
