Series: Anti Burst style doors / standard

JD

Cheers JD, this is just the type of reply I was hoping for... does the keyhole clear the standard series door pannel ok?

Me I have the old style latches on the front and the anti burst locks on the back. Whatever was available. I am not even going to paint my doors to match, I like it the way it is.

I have to say I way of the same opinion until I saw a crash involving a vehicle with pre-antiburst latches. The first things to fly open were the doors leaving the poor old passengers very unerable in the roll that followed.

That said I've not run out and purchased anti-burst locks but will be getting them during the pending upgrade to straight doors, hell I'f I'm going to paint him he's going to be straight...even if it only lasts as far as the nearest greenlane.

I know about the door problem. Until it was adjusted my door had a habit of flying open without much provocation

No, the anti burst lock needs an additional hole in the door panel for the key barrel. As the donor vehicle that supplied my doors already had antiburst locks, this was not a problem for me, so I missed that point in my reply. (The LH lock on the donor vehicle was worn out so I replaced it with a new older type one I had on hand - I have now bought a new anti burst one, but have yet to fit it.) JD

No your right... I asked the wrong question... I confuse myself so what chance does anyone else have ;-) . I want to temporarily fit the origional series locks to the antiburst doors until I get the new antiburst locks.... having eyed up Percy next to Morph today they should fit. Hope that clarifies any confusion :-)

Well, in that case you will have exactly what I have - and it works fine. Only catch I found was the bolts holding on the anti burst lock have bigger heads than the ones on the old style, and are a rather tight fit. JD
