Mark, Late model (70 on) 1600 locks and 180B locks are all but identical. What I did many years ago was to find a 180B being privately being wrecked so the door keys were also available - wrecking yards aren't all that good at looking after keys.

I've heard 200B units need a little mod to fit. I have heard people saying get Solex replacement locks (barrels only?) but a locksmith didn't regard them as suitable for automotive (insecure, but not much of an issue on a 30 yo car I guess) but the main problem is the high costs locksmiths quote ($110+ per lock) so a trip to the wrecker would be the way to go if later model parts can be used.
