That barrel is out of a fuel cap I think. The end is cast differently and won't take the lever and washer behind the handle. If you get stuck, I have loads of Marina door lock barrels here.

Ah damn, nevermind :lol:. I'll find a use for it I'm sure. I have a plan B but I'll let you know if that doesn't work out :thumbup:.

You wouldn't have at all (I'll get a pic tomorrow if I can) the lever bit that has the two clips on it that clip on the rods and is fitted on the barrel to operate the lock? My one is starting to split on a clip and I don't know if a tack of weld would fix it. I've looked at other handles I have but I think later cars has a different way they worked so they don't have the bit I need :thumbdown:. Cheers :thumbup:

After the last cover I had split down the roof and really wasn't a cover at all, it was time for a new one :thumbup:. The old one I had for a few years but it was quite cheap and I think the sun had got to it too much. This one is a lot more up to the job I feel being better quality, etc (thank you for the cover Rosie :D)

It's all in hibination once again until I get PDA done, then I'll be back on it :thumbup:

Just bought a complete passenger inner sill for this so hopefully that's all the big panels bought for this and just a case of a little fabrication on the floors/chassis when I come back to it :thumbup:
