I used a Mk. III VW lock cylinder seal since I didn't have one. A darn expensive seal but it works! If you're handy with tools then get one from a junk yard car (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)

Nicely explained! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif)

If you'd really wanted to get technical, you could have shown how to re-key the lock while it was apart. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)

How about putting this in the classics?

I forgot to include lubrication. I'll insert that. I used graphite that came in an aerosol can. Would also a very thin smear of white lithium around the lock cylinder be okay or is the graphite alone just fine?

I re-keyed my locks awhile back before I knew there was a proper way to do it (still don't know what it is). Took my ignition key and inserted it into each of the removed lock assemblies, and filed down any of the gates that happened to be protruding above the housing. Like I said, probably not the "correct" way to do it, but it worked! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)

He's still active. Maybe still has the content that can be reposted into a classic thread.

I just tried to look at this thread yesterday too and was taken to a banking website (I think?) Hope we can get this information back. I want to re-do my lock cylinders soon and I like to get a heads up before tackling the unknown.

Is there any way to get a new set of keys and locks? My keys are are looking more like toothpicks than keys these days.

Wonder if I can mount the ignition key in the dash, since I have to take all the parts out anyway?

Yes. I'm pretty sure I have some slightly used keys in my stash that I could send you, then you can re-key all your locks to them.

Sorry guys, I sold my www.icbm.org domain and, obviously, didn't get all the links that have been used over the years (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
Here's the link:
http://www.aircoolednut.com/erkson/persona...replacement.htm

For future notice, anytime you see "www.icbm.org" replace it with "www.aircoolednut.com" and you should be okay.

Graphite is old school and very abrasive. Should not be used on lock parts.

So suggest something better, I can't read your mind! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/slap.gif)
