Question Spare Tire Lock

I have an A-18305-D Spare tire lock. It is missing the lock cylinder. When looking at the 31 Parts List, it appears that the lock cylinder was not included when new but sold separately (probably to fit the ignition key at the dealer). Can't find it listed in the Parts List.

Is that lock cylinder available anyplace?

Thanks--John

Same as door handle cylinder "BUT" you need a special spring to hold the cylinder in the lock (see picture)

Thanks Joop,
I have a couple door handle cylinders. Now you've given me a challenge to make one work.

Mine is the kind with the strap around the tire. Not sure if those are the same lock cylinder. Yours sure looks nice.

You're correct, John. Apparently, mine is for the side mount spare without strap. A-18330-B
