73 Cuda Door lock.....drivers side
« on: June 29, 2007 - 10:02:35 AM »
Went to put the door handle back in the driver's door and I'm missing the rod and associated clips each end that connects the door lock in the handle to the lock mechanism on the latch ass'y attached to the door. Does anyone know of a place who sells these as a loose part?............thx
