According to the EPC they are MR2 specific and can vary from Rev to Rev.
Any use ?

If it helps. I fitted a full set of locks from a uk rev 3 i to my jdm rev 1. Because the door key was different from the ignition. They all fitted fine.

Thanks. I feel that earlier models are the same. It’s finding the part and some other Toyotas in those years might fit so gives me a better chance of finding the part I’m after it’s if anyone knows what other models will work

I’d contact a breaker like J-Spec, they may well have what you need.

Some is selling a set in ebay for £70. All locks and complete ignition barrel. Just no glove box lock and the cubby box behind the drivers seat.
