Matthew,

You should be able to find a source here on the list with Jeff at
vanagonparts.com or Chris or one of the vendors....

Regarding central locking, I installed a keyless entry from JC Whitney, the
circuit just looks for voltage to start the actuators.  I would really
recommend the keyless entry as it is not difficult and one of the best things
you can have on a rainy day!

Good luck and if you go after market, please share you experience and sources
--- you never know when anyone will need such items....

Have fun!
