Door locks....
2002-05-13 by Jeff Caraway
OK, which pictures are you looking at Dave?
I can see that the holes are circular on the doors, but can\u2019t find any better pics.
I too, am in desperate need of some new locks for mine and would like to know if ordering them from someone like Moss or Victoria British is going to get me the correct type of locks. I\u2019m also curious as too if one of these parts hoses will even be able to get me 3 MG trunk locks all keyed the same.
