Filling door lock holes ?
clairetoo - 6/1/09 at 08:04 PM

I spent last evening fitting Mx5 door handles to my Fury - and I have to say I am well pleased with the result .
Except for one small problem - I dont have any door locks , so I have a hole where the lock should be
I have tied searching ebay (and the net) and so far cant find anything - any suggestions ?

is what a Mk1 MX5 door handle looks like....

Do you want door locks?
I'm using MX5 catches with a europa spares lock on my ginetta which work very well.

If it's like this one


could you put a large countersunk allen head bolt in it?


You would still see the allen hole, but you could make it a "feature"


Or superglue an engine valve in (are they available in stainless?)

Thats a thought..........but I'm sure I've seen `de-locked` cars with chrome `buttons` in place of the locks (I've just no idea where to get such things from ?)

You need a brass monkey.

Remove from warm room and place in the fridge.

What about a domed chrome bumper bolt? Or you could fit some Leds as courtesy lights.

pics?? bodywork is the big (currently stalled due to lack of time) project on my fury

was thinking about fitting poppers and going handle-less...

Other option is to glue something like a grommet in there.
