1984 300DT: Meyle Key Assembly availability?

As we drive our cars, the key assembly begins to wear along with the ignition lock. I've found replacing both the key assembly and ignition lock at the same time works best. There is a problem with parts availability that seems to be in play. I cannot locate the Meyle brand key assembly on any websites.

Does anyone know if these are available or NLA?

Pelican has Febi. It's what I've been running for 5 months and it's been ok so far, any reason you want Meyle specifically?

Some good advice from an experienced W123 fan. Make sure the key ring for your W123 car has no more than one key besides the ignition key. The extra weight of additional keys on the key ring really plays havoc with W123 ignition tumblers and locks.

I see the ignition lock on NAPA but not the Key Assembly that it fits into. In my experience, it is best to replace both the ignition lock and key assembly together.
