Swap lock barrels over. They may well fit. But this is fiddly... I installed another potmetal handle and swapped the locks over... worked fine, but eventually something came loose and the lock fell out! This was while the van was stored in my mother's garage, and the little sppring (the difficult-to-reinstall item) was lost, so no lock for me now! -- Andrew Grebneff 165 Evans St, Dunedin 9001, New Zealand <andrew.grebneff@stonebow.otago.ac.nz> Seashell, Macintosh, VW/Toyota van nut Friends don't let friends do Windows
