Go to an ACE Hardware store and peruse their O-Ring selection (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

QUOTE(Root_Werks @ Aug 10 2020, 04:25 PM)  Searching and found this (closest to what I'm looking for). I'm re-keying my door handles to match my ignition. Surprisingly, I still have a wafer kit with springs and wafers 1-5. Everything's back together and works great. Before I put these back on the doors, I want to replace the small round gasket that goes around the lock cylinder. Poked around 914Rubber and AA, can't find it. Anybody have a part number or source? I'm pretty sure I got some from 914rubber but you might have to call. Not everything is on their site. |

Thanks Brian, yes that is it. Yes the original was an inexpensive piece of nylon. The only problem is that over time it will get gummy and collect dirt. That’s why we machined these out of aluminum.
It’s what sets the height of the lock in the assembly. Attached thumbnail(s)

Perfect, thanks!
After clicking the link, found this: https://914rubber.com/door-handle-repair-kit I have the gaskets, but this comes with the bushings and push thingies = sweet! |

the very first aftermarket 914 part we ever made was the door latch cam. We also made the door latch base and the door latch flap, both reinforced where they always broke.
QUOTE(balljoint @ Jul 14 2013, 05:35 AM) Where are the cams available new? |

Not sure what I was thinking ... then it hit me - the rubber O-rings were on my old BMW's door locks (IMG:style_emoticons/default/screwy.gif)

Kinda excited about this re-key project. I have an MK1 switch column and was able to get the MK1 key to work in both door locks and rear trunk lock perfectly. Now I have the updated look and functions of 80's VW's with int-wippers and elect washers using the MK1 key. |
