has anyone attempted a key conversion for the ford escort?

 

for my first van i had the key welded to a piece of 2mm steel and this was drilled into a meta keyfob:

but now ford have changed their key material make up and current key blanks are not steel and don't weld. i had this made up:

but the man that made it said not to grind down the solder (or weld) any further or its strength will be compromised. now obviously i don't want it breaking off in my ignition barrel....

 

i see that current transit keys are available:

can these be cut to escort key specs?

 

has anyone here built an escort key into a buttoned fob and can guide me before i embark on this learning curve?
