It really depends on the size but most standard key widths you can just order key stock for and sand or grind them to fit if they come a little over size. You should be able to find them from any manufacture.

that shoud take you to the key stock page from the MSC big book.

If you have a basic broach set you will need an arbor press. All you do is drill your hole for the shaft. Then you place the colar in the hole and the broach in the slot in the colar. You then put it in an arbor press and slowly push it thru. Use lots of oil. Then after the first pass you should have a shim. Place the shim in the slot and broach thru again. I hope that helps. If not let me know and maybe I can find a resource for you.
