You shold be able to get one at a junkyard for a couple of bucks. If you plan on removing the dooe handle unit, you need an impact driver. If you have one, the job is real easy. If you have a Westy, those clips that hold the inside panel on are no longer available. There is a very high chance that you will break a couple of them. Make sure the one you get, the lock works. As they get older, the locks have a tendency to lock themselves everytime you close your door and will not stay unlocked. Bill V.
