seat lock

Post by bigred »

Hi Ive got the seat retaining mechanisim on my 1981 500 sport but not the lock, just a hole. Are these available anywhere or can some other lock be made to work with a bit of fettling. I still have a good spring on the latch but if it breaks are they available any where. Cheers

Some air cooled BMW boxers used the same lock?

Have you tried Mdina? I bought one for my K1 31/2 from NLM.

Hi thanks for the help. I tried mdina no stock but got the latch spring. Have bought a secondhand classic BMW lock that looks right with key and locking ring. Hopefull I can get that to work.
