door lock barrels and keys

30 Dec 2012, 6:44pm
Hi all
Does anyone on here have a supplier or know where I can get some door lock barrels and keys for my replica dino. I have some lotus ones but they don't really look the part.

Door lock

Hi Ian
My Mirabeau, like all ,I believe, did not have external door opening and locks- but used central locking solenoid s.
My intention is to fit locks and also the Dino - style doors handles.
Have been scouring ebay etc etc and had wondered if lotus elan locks were used.
If any stock left at your source would be interested to know. Are you able to post photos of the locks by any chance ?, please

Hi Dave

I have somewhere a pair of lotus door locks I did buy for my dino but I didn't like them.I managed to get some original ferrari door locks as fitted to the 246 and later 308 dino's from ebay.You just have to keep looking and hopefully get lucky:icon_lol:
I'll try and post a photo.
