Its a bit harder in a Pre67 due to the mechanism style, If you had the later door latches with the push button it will be much easier.

I read it on FACEBOOK so it must be true

Correct Dave,
due to the older - non push button- locking mechanism...
if You did get it working, You may continually blow motors..
as the electric motors are only light and it doesn't take much to blow them...
My Son, who used to install them years ago when He was in Sydney, said I was asking for trouble if I put them in My Beetle with push button locking... Unless there is little tension on the mechanism.. they either won't work or will only work for a short time....
regards
Lee
