  1. Hi.
    Would anyone happen to have a set of lock wafers for a late bay engine bay lock.
    Tnx.
     
  2. I gave mine to @Ian Jones with the proviso that he passes on any left overs to others. You might be in luck!
     
  3. Thanks for pointing out this post had not seen it I do have some lock wafers left if you pm me your address @grub ill put them in the post to you with the same understanding that you pass on what’s left when needed thanks Ian.

  7. @grub the wafers have been posted first class this afternoon hope they are a help cheers Ian.
     
  8. They were on mine :) , except for the replaced ignition switch lock which isn't original..

    There's a really good "how to" thread on here somewhere :thinking:

  14. One question.. so, I take the lock apart with the original key in it..put my key in..Mark the wafers that stick out then take these out..how do I then know which spare wafers to put in their place? I take it the wafers are all different profiles..is it just a matter of trial and error?
    Thx again
     
  15. Yep, you got it - trial and error :D

    I had a couple that only stuck out by a margin, I filed these to fit but I wouldn't advise taking much off!
     
  16. Lock now successfully rekeyed. I also took all the wafers and little springs out and cleaned them up.
    Works a treat now thanks guys.

  20. If possible, could I have next dibs please? My decklid lock is different from all the others, don't have an original key either.
