Title: where can i buy an ignition key tumbler and chrome sleeve cover
Post by: thecarappraiser on June 03, 2016, 05:44:49

thanks to some low life trying to steal my 66 230sl luckily failing due to a battery isolator i am now left with a missing ignition barrel and the chrome sleeve cover, any ideas where i can find one? i have been looking around and the sleeve cover and it is a bit elusive, maybe because its called something else? any ideas
cheers

If they managed to get the chrome collar off and the tumbler out than more than likely the ignition housing is also damaged.
Your only chance may be the Classic Center

yes its not the trim ring but the actual collar that fits over the ignition lock housing, i think classic center maybe my only option
