So I reviewed the great link below and still have a few more questions:
http://www.914world.com/specs/rekey.php By swapping wafers around I was able to get the combination to match my key except for 1 wafer. It's not an end wafer, so assume not the valet wafer. Is there a source for assorted wafers so I can find the right one? I know it would work without that one wafer, but could I just go without it? It seems like it would provide as much security as the strength of the latch (not that I can see anyone wanting to get into my car). I broke a couple of wafer springs and lost one. Is there a source or just look for a similar spring from hardware store or McMaster? The finish on the lock is poor. I know nothing about the chroming process, but if I had someone re-chrome the parts would any critical dimensions get altered. |

There’s a guy in the member vendor section and maybe the classifieds that sells all the wafers to do all the locks. Pretty cheap. Might even be the guy that wrote that article.
