G'day,

Just wondering if anyone knew what thread the door lock knob stalks are? Screwing on the plastic repro ones is a pain and i thought i would just tap a thread. I have a nice diecast aftermarket knob (wish i had a second), which is tapped for it so it must be common/.

Cheers

The snipper rods would be more like 1/8" or 5/64" dia. but I haven't actually measured one.

Take your diecast one is into a place like bursons etc and have them match up the thread.
Or go to a hobby shop and check out their range of threaded rod etc for model planes etc and see what thread fits it. Then you will have your thread size.

I might even see if I can find a pair of die cast locks. Thanks

This is something you may consider Jacob, the first owner of my car was a gadget man and put this on the car . quick , easy and just unscrew when you want to use the quarter window .

Used to be able to buy a stainless or chrome plated clip for the flipper window.

I never bothered with it on my LC.

But back then I was silly pretty often. Left keys in ignition many times.
