Hello list, Tonite I tried to install a trunk lock cylinder in my '59 DeSoto. I bought the cylinder from a lock guy at Carlisle in 2000. It came with a FWDLK style key and a long thin tab that hung loosely off of the end of the cylinder. The cylinder fits fine into the hole in the outer trunk sheetmetal, but the tab appears to be way to long for the application. Also, the tab goes thru the latch hole. The latch hole is about the diameter of a penny with a square notch cut out of it's bottom. The hole is WAY wider than the tab. I release the trunk with a screwdriver pushing downward on the penny sized hole. The lock cylinder action does not exert force downward, just twisting. Okay...looks like the guy gave me the wrong tab thing with the cylinder, so what the heck is the hardware like that is supposed to interface the cylinder with the latch trip? Can it be fabricated? Anybody got the hardware for sale? I wish I had a digital camera as this stuff is hard to explain... Thanks in advance, Eli Collins in U.P. of MI _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp |
