Door lock broke

[tarafied1]

My outside passenger door lock has been broke for a while. After making a few filler necks I decided I would fix it...finally.
The area where the C-clip attaches broke and wouldn't hold the lever for the rod anymore but the key still worked. I had a couple that I didn't have a key for (they aren't as nice stainless either, but not broke). I swapped out the plunger things so my key would still work. Then put it in. Good as new!

Great....now we have a locksmith on line.

I'm learning! I acquired a glove box lock some time ago and it didn't have a key. I modified it to use my trunk key the same way. I did that a while back.

Really pretty simple for our old cars. Just takes time and patience...and a few parts.

yeah, I didn't know how they worked. One day I just tried to take one apart. It was surprisingly easy,
