got this off the bay alittle while ago and just started fitting it. iv checked to make sure it works and now just need to fit the plungers to the doors and link up with the door locks. This is where im having the problem. i cant figure out where the plungers sit under the locks? they both come with small rods but there not straight, they have a slight bent and a flat edge that has pre cut holes. Sounds abit confusing but i believe these are originally there. has anyone got a picture of it fitted or a guide?
cheers

they hook on the door button rod. the inside button you lift and push down to lock the door.
*edit* did they come with brackets fitted to the solenoids screwed on the side as this is what you need to mount them to the door.

No just the solenoids. Cant they be attached without then? or is it easier with

you'll need to make some up or get a set as the brackets are pop riveted to the door and the solenoid screwed to it and sits side ways. that why the rods have the bend in them to line up.

I thought they sat up right. thats prob why i couldnt figure it out.
Kinda confused about what your on about, central locking motors should be pointing upwards and if its a universal kit it should have two screw holes, which go on the door on bits that need drilling (there sunk slightly iirc)

sideways as in the upright position but not flat to the door card side, sideways as in the same way as cavalier,calibra,astra etc solenoids.
