| | | | | Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 37 Apprentice | | Apprentice Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 37 | I am attempting to add a key lock to the drivers door on my 49 and found that the drivers latch mechanism does not have the same internals as the passenger side. I bought a used passenger door latch to see it I can use parts from it to modify the drivers latch so it will interface with the key lock. I haven't had the time lately to pursue it further. I'll let you know if I have any success. | | |
