Ummmm ... am I missing something? What is the point of installing
locks on the doors of an MGA roadster? IOW, how are locks going to
stop someone when you have side curtains and a canvass hood? I
for one don't even see the benefit of locking the doors on an MGB
roadster ... all that will get you is slash hood.
Pursit Rant ON ...
If ya want locks ... buy an MG that came with them (MGA Coupe/MGB)
... don't go cutting up a good set of MGA Coupe doors ... arrrrrrrrrgh.
... Pursit Rant OFF.
