Title: Ignition barrel sliders sources?
Post by: Diamond Black Geezer on 14 July 2025, 15:44:30

Anyone found a decent source of the brass sliders for ignition locks. The old link that has been posted on this site is long since no longer stocked. Hoping now that this generation of barrels is getting to 'classic' levels (I'm guessing they use the same sliders as Mk III Cav, Astra, all the early 90s stuff)

I used to collect all the barely used sliders out of breaker's glovebox locks and bootlocks. I've very handily thrown them in the same bag as my originals and no idea which are the clapped out ones and which are the as-new.

Which is nice.  :D

i usually have found that a slightly worn brass slider will end up being correct for a different slider requirement in another slot .as they are spring loaded anyway and have never paid attention to (or noticed / looked for )any id markings if they have any !  i have often found that its the key fitment  in the barrel that causes the most issues with wear anyway .
