The Saga continues.
DBAG no longer makes the ignition lock, just the tumbler and key. W116 and
W107 are S.O.L. if you need one from the factory. Chinese now manu-fake a
replacement that can be sourced for under $200, but not from the dealer.
I ordered the tumbler and coded key at the dealer

Several years ago he got me the correct number for clutch master
cylinder and I ordered it at dealer.

That's not a very nice way to treat us.

If Froggy is '74 as I suspect, he needs a tumbler from a 115 or 116,
nothing much later. It should heave the edge cut key. It might be that Curt
is correct, you need to clean it, and possibly need a new key, but the
tumbler assembly might be OK.

I might be able to liberate one of the tumblers fr
107's, with their near-20-year run, exhibit quite a
variation over the years. ACC, engines, keys, etc.
Our 1983 and 1986 SL's used different keys, for example.
1986 was side-cut, the 1983 was old-school edge-cut.

I wonder what would happen if you ground down the ends of the wafers so
that the key doesn't have to fit as precisely. You'd lose some
theftproofing, but as long as the wafers were good enough to not all
