We will actually machine these from steel not pot metal. This is what pot metal does.
If we polish and plate the steel it will be a much better product. It is possible we to make in stainless, however it will drive the price up, as material is much more expensive in the correct alloy. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)


I love the way Uro parts trolls your posts. Do they really think they are gaining customers with that tactic?

Fortunately,
I have had lots of experience polishing stainless. Mostly glass rail components, but same idea. It can be polished to a mirror finish.

I don’t need one, since mine uses the GT delete of the trunk lock. But I do keep all the deleted stuff on the shelf in case some future owner wants to go back to original. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)
Just to piss on the URO troll, I’ll take one and restore this original.

We will be making a rear trunk lock repair kit that replaces the rubber base, the outter bezel and the lock button. It will allow you to use your lock (no re keying) to make the one you have look brand new.

Who's in?

What about redoing the “tongue” screwed to the back of the the tumbler assembly? The potmetal ones break off, and so do the plastic ones sold by Auto Atlanta. I have had to drill out 2 trunk locks so far because thr tongue part broke off!

Thank you for bringing that up, i will inspect mine and replace with something stronger. Drilling to open sounds aweful. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Its a part that everyone should purchase BEFORE they break. After they break, getting your trunk open is a pita. That part should have never been made out of weak metal.
