FridgeFreezer Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 I used the search button and found this: You can get anti burst door locks to fit that door. I had them on my 1980 S3 Safari. I think it would be a straight swap. The little locking lever on the iside is also neater then the big silver twist lock you have there.Looking in my 1980 Optional Parts catalogue 395037 OS front and back door 395038 NS front door 395294 OS catch and rear catch 395295 NS catch You may beed shims as well but those can be made from bits of ali plate with slots in for the bolts. So is it just a case of ordering the parts listed above, making an extra hole in the driver's door for the lock, and bolting it all together? I need to so something as the standard Series latches don't support the door well enough on rough roads, they all rattle (not helped by the hinges wearing out, they're being replaced too) so I'm hoping anti-burst locks will add a bit more support to actually hold the door in place rather than just closed.

dave88sw Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Yep, just make a hole in the door for the lock barrel to poke through and bolt in to original holes. Did this on my series cos the latches were all knackered and wasnt much more expensive, doors shut with a nice clunk now which is an added bonus.

FridgeFreezer Posted April 6, 2009 Author Share Posted April 6, 2009 Any clues on the second row doors for a 109 CSW? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon White Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Weld them shut dukes of hazard style? Failing that try looking at the 110 CSW parts book. Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
selectcase Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 I fitted these to my series and it really made a differance - just be careful to drill the hole just right so its a good fit - relativly simple job all in all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
