I tried to transfer the lock cylinders from my original door handles to a pair of new repro handles, but the holes for the cylinders seem small.
Here is the left handle. Even after some filing of the smallest section of the hole, towards the inside, the cylinder will not seat fully. Attached thumbnail(s)

Sorry you did not read up on this problem before you bought them.. Same old story people selling crap that never has been test fitted after manufacturing. The JORG made the latest batch of junk.
Get your round file out. Once you get the lock problem solved, your chrome is going to be the next item to fail. |
