Eternal optimist Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Greetings. Just had some shiny stuff arrive from Rimmers comprising a pair of replacement tailgate handles for an estate. Question - has anyone managed to extract the barrel from the new and fit the old one? I'm keen to keep one key for all locks if possible.

Goody Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 I believe all the barrel's (cept glove box) can be re worked to use any key. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casper Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 I'm sure I have swapped barrels in the past. Is there a small pin holding them in?Not a lot of practical help but may keep your enthusiasm up until you get a more useful reply.C.

Eternal optimist Posted March 13, 2014 Author Share Posted March 13, 2014 Thanks - I'll have a closer look at the handle and the original when I get a minute. The locking handle is a repro and if it's the same with Triumph stuff as VW it's not possible to switch the barrels between repro and OG bits - I spent an age scouring t'internet for NOS handles for the VW I restored so I could get everything on one key. Keen to do the same on this one if I can, but with a bit of luck, I'll not get too obsessive about it.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
