HR Holden door lock cylinder retainer

Post by Harv »

Looking for a single HR door lock retainer please. This is the plate that slides into the door edge and locks the lock cylinder in place.

Though I would be smart and use FB/EK, but they are too short.

Happy to pay part and postage. Please save me from paying Earlybitz $25+$10 postage for a pair 🙄

Hint: if your HR has no drivers lock, and you park against a wall on the passengers side, do not lock the drivers door. Unless you like climbing in via the tailgate....

Cheers,

I should have a couple (I hope), since I've pulled enough HRs apart over time . . .

Belay that. A trip down into Spider and Mosquito-Land was unfruitful (except for a mother lode of HR wiper motors and FB/EK windscreen and rear window corner trims).

Thanks Rob - appreciate the hunt.

If anyone wants a spare FB/EK lock retainer, there's one floating around in the bottom of the HR Prem's passenger door...

Interesting fact: the FB/EK lock retainers push all the way in, and are the perfect length ready to receive the HR lock cylinder. They just can't push in any further to hold it in place. Then they tilt, and fall into the bottom of the door.
