Driver's door locking mechanism

Post by mcinnisp »

We're in need of a driver's door lock mechanism for a 1966 Bug. The old one was pretty messed up by a previous owner who converted the doors to shaved doors. The door solenoid doesn't work and promises to be lots of trouble itself, so we'd like to add handles, but need a working lock mechanism. The suppliers (Wolfsburg West, etc.) seem to have other years, but not 1966. Any ideas on this? Will earlier or later mechanisms work?

Many thanks!

Welcome to the forum mcinnisp! You can try one of the other suppliers on the links page or go to www.thesamba.com and go to the classified section and do a search - you will probably find it there.
