Early tailgate lock

[Iain]

Is the lock of an early tailgate the same as one of the door locks? Or is there somewhere I can get a lock to suit it?

Cheers

It's different Ian, same as saloon iirc.

a door lock will fit but will be more recessed

I have two Solex door locks - I've managed to physically fit it but it doesn't look like the mechanism will open the tailgate (needs to pull the tab up on the mech)

Are there any aftermarket locksets for the saloon?
