still haven't sorted out the backing for the door handles, but, tonight I got to be a locksmith. A few years ago I had had the door handles re-chromed and tonight (finally) was the time to reassemble. First job was making sure that I had two locks keyed the same. I have a key and a door lock and an ignition that works (or at least turns) - so, pulled the one assembled door apart, and found enough pieces to assemble a second set. Then started pulling and replacing pins until I had a pair that fit. Managed to get them all together (who know you could put it together upside-down - I do, now)
Anyways all together and everything turns as it ought (haven't installed it all yet - maybe tomorrow) But, belatedly thought to check and, unbelievably, the key works in the trunk.
So, at this moment everything works with one key except the glove box. I started to dismantle it and realized that now was a good time to stop. But, anyone know how to dismantle the lock on the glove box? I have found the grub screw and removed it but I wonder if the latch need to come off for the lock to come out. anyone have any ideas?
thanks all! cheers
