Hi Guys, Looking to fit a specific type of external door lock/handle for my Rochdale. Problem is I have an idea what I want, I just can't find where to buy any! I basically just want a key lock with a small finger pull attached. Similar to this thing (without the rectangular backing section) -  The only car I can find which had something similar fitted was the original Lotus Elite -  Anyone know of any others cars fitted with them? or, just a place that sells them new |

And I won't sit down. And I won't shut up. And most of all I will not grow up.

Will that help? |

Will that help? Well, not really. If you look at the lock on the Lotus, it is ideal. It is a round push button mounted directly into the bodywork - there is no rectangular mounting section. I basically want something that doe not stick out of the body, aside from the little finger pull. |

Yep, my 1st thought too, unfortunately, they seem to be as rare as the car itself. 1 2nd hand sold on eBay recently for £123 it is spot on though -  |

Ooh pricey! Nice though!
Just had a thought, take a look at late 60s early 70s Mgb boot handles.

If i remember correctly, a Opel kadett C (chevette) Caravan has that sort of lock on the tailgate.
Should be easy enough to find
