Title: door locks
Post by: kammertime on November 13, 2017, 08:43:20 PM
Do the door locks have the plastic or rubber pad to protect the paint on the outside of the door ?

The assembly manuals show it being used on the trunk key lock but not on the doors. They were not present when I removed the locks on my BOSS many years ago.

Thanks,
John

No the pads are not . It is a common restoration mistake to include them.

No pad for the lock.  How about the handle ?  Thanks, Brian
