ignition keys 1800 1973

Hello,

I have a few used ones with keys too, but all of them have cracks in the tumbler housing.

But I won't sell them because they are problems waiting to happen and these ignition lock assemblies do not fall out and who wants to do this job twice.

BTW, who said these replacement tumblers were cheap!!

They are stronger than the originals.

One of my customers has had one in his 1973 1800ES for over 5 years without any problems.

He came in with an ignition lock assembly that would not shut all the way off and therefore the key would not come out of the tumbler assembly.

I can replace the tumbler assembly on all 1800E/ES and 122 with locking steering columns as well as all 140/160 Volvos up to 1972.

Do you have any without cracked tumbler housings?
