solex locks

Postby NOLAW » Thu Mar 11, 2010 1:31 pm

so i went into repco today to sort some solex locks and got told they no longer get made, is this true? is there some other place i can get some through or is there an alternative option?

they are for a KE20 sedan (2 doors and a boot)

or if someone has some for a KE20 that would be up for sale id be keen also

cheers

I think our sponsor Driven Performance sells them, check them out in the sponsors section and flick them an email, they will know.

probably lies, Repco will say stuff like that if they cant be bothered getting stuff for you.

when i worked there we did that with monsoon sheilds and stereo spare parts etc. Procuring stuff can be a pain in the butt.

careful when installing them

My partner got them installed and they were CRAP!

the keys stopped working after a while and eventually the lock fell out into the door haha.

sure they weren't installed wrong? they're installed the exact same way as factory locks.

morgan - try the locksmiths in town too. I think they were cheaper than repco, but not sure which one stocked them.

i think the glass place opposite BP might do locks too, theres another one just moved to where brake & clutch used to be on pyne street (opposite winz). there is one on the corner opposite countdown too, but they might be the ones who have moved to pyne st.
