I would like to put one on the drivers side. Looks like I'm missing a "rod" that would go from the keyed lock cylinder to the door handle lock.
Can you let me know what it looks like and will the lock cylinder and rod work on the drivers door?
Thank you.

I have my 46/7 in pieces right now and if you want pictures of anything let me know and I will get then. Seems to me the door is slightly different where the lock sits, I will look at mine today as I have a 41 and a 46 to look at. Dave
just thought of another thing. You may need to also cut a slot in the area below the striker for the locking clip for the lock. Your passenger door may also not be from a 41.

I saw them at JC's and I would get a pair of them if I knew they would work in the doors, and I could get or make a rod for them. This is not a stock 41 I'm going for here; just want to make sure I can lock it.

Look at the difference in your doors in that area. Dave
The lock should have been in the passenger door handle.
