Technical 1949 Mercury door lock cylinder retainer?

Discussion in 'The Hokey Ass Message Board' started by alteredpilot, Jun 2, 2023.

  1. I bought the repop door lock cylinders from Dennis Carpenter, but I cant seem to find any kind of retainer out there anywhere and I wouldn't know what they looked like if I saw one. Any tips on securing these in the door? thanks in advance.

    My guess is it will be a c-clip like the ones shown below. My past experience with the Dennis Carpenter stuff is that they are too flimsy. I have used large snap rings instead.

    That's why most Mercs don't have handles or locks! ;)

    I'm pretty sure it's a cup design that fit's over the cylinder.
