Hi all
The title says it all - I have an EA II with Tibb locks and 2 keys. Can I take the ign barrel out of this car and put it in my ED with smartlock? Why I want to do this is because I would then have the same locks as before and the two keys I have wouldn;t have to come off our keyrings. Cheers RD

if you choose to use the non smartlock barrel and keys you will nee to go buy a smartlock buypass, if you dont and you use the non smartloack keys the car will not start.

Ah, thanks Bunter. I'll just go with another key then...eventually. I take it I can just grab one from Ford?
Cheers Bruce

Getting another key cut would be the easiest option - I have seen them on Ebay, and they will cut it for you, wasn't too expensive from memory.
Ring ford for a comparison price. I'm pretty sure the key ign cylinders will swap across - ask Benj if he doesn't reply.

Yes, you can use the actual Key Barrel from a smartlock ignition in a non smartlock ignition, so I see no reason why it wont go the other way. The smartlock part has nothing to do with the actual key barrel.
Cheers BenJ

And once again BenJ has the answer
 I just changed over my non smartlock barrle into the ED with Smartlock and all is well - it started right up!
Cheers RD
