These are brand new brass tumblers and copper springs for 914 and 911. Finally have one set of keys to open all of your locks. This is way cheaper than having a Porsche dealer cut you a key. (I called a Porsche dealer; they said $83.00 to duplicate one master key and $200 to order one by VIN.)
You will receive the following in each set ordered: #1 Tumblers - four each #2 Tumblers - four each #3 Tumblers - four each #4 Tumblers - four each 10 new springs #5 Tumbler not included; reuse your own, it is found in your secondary locks (glove box, front trunk, rear trunk) for use with a master key. Also included (not in picture, but is included in first set only; you only need one) : 1 new pair of tweezers 1 plastic container (so you can find your tumblers the next time you need to re-key a lock) Each set is $37.95 shipped to your door. (CONUS) This is a discounted price for forum members from my Ebay shipped price of $44.95 - 15% off. Paypal to TYPE4PLUS@gmail.com money order check If you need individual Tumblers ($3.50 each shipped) Springs (5 for 3.50 shipped). These are from a reputable source, from an American supplier. Remember you can still reuse your old tumbler pins that don't need to be changed or keep them as spares. You should have left overs for future locks.

Forgive me for the interruption but how do you tell the tumblers apart , other than the slight differences in the top and bottom of the tumbler, is that the difference. Sorry for my old eyes

Forgive me for the interruption but how do you tell the tumblers apart , other than the slight differences in the top and bottom of the tumbler, is that the difference. Sorry for my old eyes The tumblers have extremely small differences. They are notched at either end or not at all. The sides have different thicknesses and the bottom edge has different dimensions. At first glance, they all look the same, but they are indeed all different. The originals, if they have not been changed out already, are stamped 1,2,3,4 from factory. If you clean off the muck and grab a magnifying glass or such, you will see the very tiny number on the tumbler. After market ones come plain. But do not fret. I devised a trick to help sort them. First and foremost, never mix them up when you have them already sorted. I label the tumblers I am selling to make it easier. Next as you take the old ones out, sort these as well. This will make your life so much easier when re-keying. I also scotch taped one of each tumbler to a white background, and labeled the cardboard 1-4. This way they would not fall and get lost, and i can tell them apart. It's a cheat sheet. Then all you have to do is lay one tumbler over the other and match them up. You need good light, patience and some sort of magnification if your eyes are not 20/20 anymore. Mine are definitely not, haven't been for some time. Hope this helps. dan |
