Seat lock

[Miker]

I have managed to find a New Old Stock seat lock. It came with 2 keys but seems to be missing a spring and some sort of locking lever inside the lock . Does anyone have pictures of what I need and possibly dimensions. Spring would be easy to get but not sure about making the other piece. Need a closeup pic of the lever if possible.

I bought the same lock in pieces, it should arrive in a few days. If no one has helped you by then, I will. Remind me if you haven't heard from me by Aug. 29.

It appears you're missing another little piece as well. There's a small tin cover that presses in the top, over that latch part and spring you're also missing .....

It's just a light friction fit into the lock body so it's easy to pry out and press back in. What really holds it in place is when you screw the lock to the frame .....

I have the parts. Let me know if you still need the dimensions.

Hi thanks, If you could send me dimensions that would be great. I have made 2 so far with some 5mm flat bar by guessing the measurements but not right. And the length of the spring.

Grid is 5mm X 5mm.
Latch is 36 X 12 X 4.5mm. Measurements do not need to be precise, there is a lot of slack in how it functions.
Spring is 5.5 X 15mm.
The little cover in 5twins pictures is not critical. It just keeps everything in place until you mount the lock on the frame. It will work without that cover -- when mounted, the frame will do the same thing the cover does, keep everything in place.
