MG TD TF 1500 - Key switch

The tumblers in the ignition switch are so bad in the TD that the key can fall out. Anyone know a source for a replacement barrel?
Thanks

I dont remember if the TD had this feature, but many cars of this vintage allowed you to remove the key once the ignition was turned on.
It saved having to carry a key.
That was in a kinder, simpler time.

It is worn so badly that any key or anything else will work. I hear that is fairly common.

Pete is a/k/a http://www.britishcarkeys.com/ Though he's really a key provider, I'll bet that he as access to cylinders. Very reasonable pricing and quick service. Bud
