Door Lock Mechanism

Post by 73satellite »

Hi,

One of my doors on my 73 Satellite locks from the outside but not the inside and i was wondering if anyone knows which bit i’m supposed to attach the inside lock latch to? i have a manual for a 70 but it’s confused me a bit and can’t find where it explains the locks in my 72 manual

I don’t know for sure but that hole next to where the external lock rod is fitted looks favourite. The internal rod mimics the action of the external lock to operate the door latch if that helps.

Think it may be just out of shot in that picture, I've got a spare I can look at tomorrow.

Here this might help, I have a copy of the 73 Body manual.

Can you whip the other side door card off and have a look how it’s connected?
