[TR] TR6 Door Lock Barrel

[Robert Jones]

One of the few things I have found worth buying from Vicky Brit were their TR6
door locks which use a barrel nut that threads on from the inside, thus
eliminating the clip and the problem.

careful you can cause distortion to the door skin when trying to push the clip
in place. Unfortunately, I know this to happen all to well. But, there is a
new style that is available from Moss or TRF that uses small set screws rather
than the clip. I've not used it but I think it would be the way to go if I
were going to replace them.
