Door Locks?
« on: August 02, 2009 - 10:53:00 PM »
I scored almost a complete black interior plastic panels and decided to install them.When I got the car there are 2 different colour panels installed that are painted black. Yuck! And while at Carlisle I bought new door handles .
Ok so I'm installing my new door handles on the Challenger( 1970).After about 2 hour of fiddling with it I've come to the conclusion that there are left and right door lock arms if not the locks themselves?And some morron has them in backwards meaning the passenger side is on the drivers side and vise versa!  At least that;s the conclusion I've drawn.
Where do you get the plastic part that holds in the lock rod( not the door handle rod) to the lock latch on the door? Mine was brittle and broke.

I have one used one, driver's side. The open part faces the outside of the car.

Which side do you need?

The part I need is red and it keeps the lock rod from falling out of the "striker mechanisim"?
I looked on e-bay and found this?
