Keys vary in their vital characterics such as size, shape, angles etc etc between instruments of different makes and often from different models and ages even from the same manufacturer.
You would need to specify the make and model of instrument as a minimum.
Your most likely source has to be from a scrap instrument of the same make and model.
Eb clarinets are much rarer than Bb so the problem is more difficult still.
Of course a skilled technician could make a key to fit but the price is likely to be very high.

thank you very much for your reply!
It's true that there is a difference between instruments but I only need one key actually and I can make it work! I'm trying to find ANY Eb clarinet or just a key. I just don't know where to look anymore .... I'm lost!
not many people own a Eb clarinet anymore (as you said)....

If you could post a picture of the instrument it would make it a lot easier to work out what key you need. Keys are very different in their form and function, and we have no idea which key you need. Alternatively, can you identify the note/s associated with the key or a physical description of it?
