Door Lock Cylinder Plastic Shutters
Anyone know where to find just the plastic shutters for the door lock cylinders? From some searching on here, eBay & Googling, it looks like they've all dried up.
If I can't find just the shutters, anyone know if the OEM key lock cylinders that you can still purchase include them or were they changed to metal too?
Thanks in advance.

I just ended up buying new lock cylinders from Atkins since the old shutters in mine had jammed the cylinder when they disintegrated and had a local locksmith match them to my original key. I would also recommend swapping to the metal door handles while you're in there since you have to disconnect everything anyway. I found it much easier with the locks out of the way.

~20 years ago I made one for the driver's side key slot out of some thin (~1/32") translucent fiberglass sheet I had lying around. I don't remember it being very hard to do.

I got mine from Code Red, fortunately they had them in stock at that time. I have also heard of people making them from a shampoo bottle - it should be fairly easy to cut one out from any semi-transparent piece of plastic.
I recommend using the plastic ones to retain the keyhole light.
