a big thanks to SMC trading

I needed a cover plate for my drivers lock- the X part option being a lock barrel at £53.

anyway , SMC trading fixed me up with the bits I needed Free of charge, and I should imagine they would have been quite fiddley to remove. ( managed to fit them without losing the spring anyway !!)

Thanks again chaps :lol:

David - how confident were you of removing it without losing the spring- I filled the spring recess with grease to hold it in when fitting it

On the basis that there's a spring in there, a bit of gentle leverage to reduce the springs tension was all that was required.......
