Estelle door lock machanisms

[Philsom26188]

Currently restoring a 4 door Estelle and all the mechanisms were ceased. So much so that the n/s front door had to be open with a crowbar. Any ideas where I can pick a set up? Even if it was just a set for the front doors, as I could weld up the back doors. Photos of the build can be found here:

Jorily spring instantly to mind. Alternatively, if you can get the lock mechanisms off the doors, give them a good soak in a WD40 bath, strip and regrease.

Has jorilly emmigrated? I sent the guy an email about door locks and replied and told me about a set. Then I got back to him about how he wanted payment and he never replied. I forwarded the email a few times and then left it. That was about a month ago now. Any ideas? Hope he hasn't went bust in todays climate, because I still need a ball of parts.:(

No, Jorily is alive and well. I am going round to his house to collect some parts in a second.

Try his mobile (office hours I would imagine). He sometimes doesn't answer calls, but replies to texts ok.

I will PM it to you.

I only ever Had 1 e-mail from you Philip on 29th January and I replied on 1st February with the prices as you said, but never heard anything back from you.

It wouldn't be the first time an e-mail has "got lost".

Sometimes when we are so busy doing our mail order parcels, we find it very difficult to answer the phone. If we don't answer you can always leave a message and we will return the call or as Kieran says send a text.

You would need to know your mobile number before you could start texting though!
