What Would I Need To Flush My Locks And Handles?


Recommended Posts

Posted

Just thinking if i might be getting a respray about flushing my locks and handles.

But what parts would i need to source and what would I have to do to do it?

Obviously I can just loose the locks as I have R/C/L(what happens if my Battery goes flat?) but how would I get the doors open?

most people splice two wires (one for + one for -) into the Battery loom and run them down the inside of front bumper, so that if your Battery goes flat u can just grab a slave Battery pull the wires down from under the bumper, and attach them to the slave battery. then you can open your doors again! :yes:

not a big fan of de locking personally, seems like a bit of a pain in the *****.

bcoz if u think about it if a theif wants to get in ur car hes left with 3 options,

1 smash the window, ......windows are expensive and costly to replace

2 screwdriver the lock, ......less expensive, sometimes the lock can be repaired, but at worst u'll need a new lock and a key for it.

3 bend the top of the door out and unlock it by hand. ..... most expensive to repair

but if u remove the locks the theif can only use the two most expensive methods to get in your car. rather than just damaging the lock.

thats the way i look at it anyway. :wacko:

it ll be cheaper to replace your windows than to replace your locks esp if they damage your borywork when trying to break the lock.

could always get laminated windows, or get the " security " tints which make it a lot harder to smash a window

You could also have little buttons on the bottom of the mirrors to open the doors, seen it done before looks very smart :thumbsup:

you need actuators, door poppers, solenoids etc..

just my opinion. ;)

i'd rather replace the lock than the glass.
