The attached pic of a glovebox cylinder shows the staking of the wire holding the tumblers in place. Not an insurmountable task for a good locksmith. The original staking could be cut away, the lock re-keyed with new tumblers, and new staking done to hold the new tumblers in place.

on edit: Good find, Dads50. That's one place I didn't look. Nothing at JC, Classic, or The Filling Station.

If you're smart enough to take it apart, you darn well better be smart enough to put it back together.
