86 carerra door handle lock cylinder replacement

[woodyTPA]

Need to replace both door handle lock cylinders. Porsche PET lists a whole new handle assembly instead of just the cylinders for 85 and up. I called Tony the key man and left message if he knows of another solution. Anybody have another idea?
Thanks! Mark

Exactly. I went through this whole thing. What’s the issue your having?

the little "door" that protects inside of cylinderis mangled from a scewdriver attempt to break in i am guessing.i bought the car like that.the key functions in the cylinder still. restoring whole car.

Woody, my SC was like that when I got it 25 years ago and it hasn't got any worse. I woldn't worry about it unless it annoys you when you see it.

If you really wanted to change it I'm sure a locksmith could make the, thingie what's it's, inside a second hand (or brand new) barrel match your key.

if you look at these VW door handles..it would make sense to buy it and use the tumblers -they are the same...ebay.com

Do you still need them? I have a brand new set of Dansk ones with four keys I would sell.
