Yes these are on the list. I have not seen new. The problem is that if they are used they can be worn unevenly.

You may have to go through a few to match your ignition key to the door.

Are new available now and how much are they?

I bought new wafers and springs from member @tweet a few years ago but he hasn't been active here for a couple years. He was getting new wafers from someplace though so they must be available.

Not that much. Maybe buy the 400 kit and repack.

Those are not the same. They are made for cam style locks. They are not the same size. I've checked all those vendors and they state that they will not fit automotive locks.

I'm totally down with buying in bulk and reselling in bit size pieces to make stuff reasonable. Just gotta do my homework to make sure its correct.

I hope you can find them. I've had two porsche parts professionals looking for a source with no luck.

Which is why we were looking to make them.
The tooling is not cheap.

Lets be clear, VW wafers and 914/911 wafers are COMPLETELY different thickness. Not interchangeable.
