I just picked up a 1987 Turbo, and the locks are all worn to varying degrees such that the same key doesn't really open everything. I'd love to just re-key the whole car with new wafers and a fresh cut key to a new pattern. Is it possible to buy the wafers anywhere? I know I bought a door handle a whole back that came with a new lock cylinder and a key for it, but that's just one lock, and I'd like to do the whole mess in one shot.

Any suggestions?

There are tumbler kits on Ebay, myself I'd get some used locks from the locks that do not get used much from some old Audi or VW and pirate the tumblers out of them. Then mix and match and throw out the worn ones.

Maybe this key application would show lock compatibility:

^+1 eBay as a source for tumbler pin kits.

Interesting find on the key application - who knew there were so many possible lock cylinder donors out there.
