Hi Cluvie

Doing mine soon.  Just got a Haynes manual.

I'm getting lock mechanism from this site:

There is other info within this forum and a bit on youtube but not much.

 

Good luck.

Check for broken wire or rubbed insulation where the door locking wires go from the door to the body through the rubber boot near the hinge
