: Does anyone know of a source for just the guts to Model A door locks?The original stainless clad handles are so much better than the repro locks, I hate to give up on them.
Hello Ron,
I ran into the same thing here in my restoration project(82B). I reluctantly ordered a Outside Lock Handle from Bratton's Antique Auto Parts and was pleasantly surprised with the quality. I do agree though that the original handles were far superior. Do you know of anyone who wants an original handle? It has a lock tumbler but the locksmith can't get it to go in!
