WTB ignition barrel for '72 CSL

[Motorhead]

Hi, the ignition barrel in my CSL is now so worn they key won't stay in the 'run' position. As I drive along it jumps out and turns the car off. Obviously this is a problem!

Does anyone have a spare ignition barrel or can point me in the right direction?

Thanks, Richard

Question is do you have early or late barrel or cylinder.
Insert key, use needle to release lock and measure length of barrel.
Later versions fit almost everything of the era:

On line for the later (longer) one are 25 bucks:

Hi, thanks. How long are the two lengths so I can tell which one I have? It's a Dec 72 car. Thanks.
