Title: Boot Lock
Post by: normd on January 19, 2004, 11:38:55 AM
Hi Guyzzz
    These are the bits we got out of the boot when the lock decided it didn't want to be there anymore
 Question :- Are there any bits missing , or just re-assemble ?
            or   :- has anyone got the missing bits ?

(Mrs is waiting for reply , as she would like to get out of the boot  ;D)   shhh     don't hurry ! ! !

Hi Norm,
It appears to be all there except for the boot lock seal.

Thanks ACE
      The lock doesn't have to be sealed , so I'll just put it back together , the car will be only out of the shed a few days each year.

(Mrs will be pleased  ;D)

Hey Norm, you might find the lock will be less sloppy if you make a ring shaped gasket or seal to fit between the exterior bodywork & the lock, usually rubber but gasket paper might be ok, pass the wife in a pair of scissors & a torch to make it for you! :)
