Re: [FWDLK] Broken door lock

[Nick Sperduto <drt-rdr@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

They are "ok" I wouldn't say they are great, but they are in much better 
shape then my old one. It was worn much more. The parts car I took it off 
of, was not a high mileage car and has been parked at least 20 years.
But this give me time to look for a real good one or an NOS one without 
laying up the car.
