I can machine out of steel pretty easily.

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.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) i just inspected mine and as you mentioned it is some soft metal. It seems to be made of zinc. i would buy a steel one of these in a heartbeat. Heck even 6061-T6 aluminum would outlast the zinc.

Aluminum is an option, but it would more susceptible to galling. So I ruled it out. Would be cheaper, best to just use the more expensive material.

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!


Put me down for one of the lock kits and if you decide to make the "tongue" mentioned above, I'll be up for one of those also.

Attached Image

I did buy a plastic one from AA and had to grind it down a little to make it work. I would really like to get a metal piece back in there.
