Just be really careful with the little springs 'n things when swapping the
lock-barrel over. I was very careful with mine, but eventually the lock
fell out again...fortunately in the garage, but the spring etc were not
found, so I'll probably have to replace the whole wretched handle/lock
assembly when I put the beast back on the road.
