Has anybody dismantled an ignition barrel to fit new tumblers and key matched to other locks?

Also looking for a set of tumblers if anyone can point me in the right direction.
I do have a complete spare set of locks as I currently have a set of MK2 barrels fitted with an AH key.
Thanks in advance!

I seem to remember he sold the kit to do it yourself, but I couldn't find it (I didn't look that hard though)

I have the barrel apart now, it's quite straight forward to do.

I had a look briefly after changing the door handles yesterday but it was time to go to the pub so I cut it short!

You have to drill out the pin that holds the barrel for the tumblers, and that is a thing best left for those that have done it.
I had the same issue as I had 2 door keys and one ignition that was the same as the boot and glovebox.
So I took the barrels out of the door and re-keyed them to take the ignition key.
I had a few spare handles I got at the breakers, and then I took the waffers out of others to get a good variety of them to use…. Makes it easier to lock and unlock the car now. (although with a vert I never lock the doors) learned this lesson from my 67 mg midget and a sliced top, not like you couldn't take it loose to open the door..

I've replaced both door handles so they're the same key, the complete set wasn't available for a MK1 so I had a MK2 set and a separate hatch lock/key which can stay in the car.
We can live with door and ign being different!
