I need to replace the 'ignition lock assembly' (tumbler, lock, etc) on my 1985 300SD. It is completely shot and only starts with a remote starter rig.

The majority of the unit seems interchangable with the 123 series parts. Fastlane lists the same part numbers, etc.

Upon inspection, the wires attaching to the ignition switch do so in a different way. Also, the shaft protruding towards the steering column seems a bit different.

QUESTION: Has anyone found the 123 parts compatible with the SD parts?

I have the tumbler removed and that is interchangable. Its the parts beyond it that seem a bit different.

Thanks

Don
