(2 ton COE, but I think all the models are the same. | | | | | Joined: May 2001 Posts: 7,438 Extreme Gabster | | Extreme Gabster Joined: May 2001 Posts: 7,438 | I believe that model has a cover on the lock inside the door. The cover is removed with a screw on the end and the lock comes out on the face side. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2010 Posts: 4,263 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jan 2010 Posts: 4,263 | Stovebolt member jockbolter50 posted a few pics of the back of the lock In his pics the glove box is removed My original lock has a clutch head screw on the back | | | | | Joined: Dec 2005 Posts: 2,557 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Dec 2005 Posts: 2,557 | Exactly what they said !!

I have a new lock in my hand that I bought from LMC that does not have the cover on the back, but does have the threaded hole for the screw. Obviously I need to reuse the screw and cover from the old one and I should be fine. I'll try to update the pics as I go, if I can remember how. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2011 Posts: 99 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Dec 2011 Posts: 99 | Couple more pics uploaded. Long way to go, but it's coming. August in Phoenix isn't much fun. Now the season of work begins. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall | | Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 | I agree with Tim.
