Burstproof lock transplant?

Hey all, I have a red 73 Superbeetle as a parts car, to use to as a parts pig for my white 66.

I'd like to update the door locks. I've attached pictures of my basic measurements. Am I on the right track?

This is how I did it...although it was a race car, not a show car :-

Can you explain exactly what you've done?

Yes.

Well, I deserved that answer!

Would you mind explaining with detail what you did to convert yours?! Pretty please!!

Surely 2000 words is enough [a picture is worth a thousand words].

I really don't know how much more I can do. 🙅

My problem is the Super has its locks in a different place than a Standard. I'll see if the door mechanisms switch over easily, then adjust the striker position on the B pillar to suit.

If the door mechanism doesn't switch over easily, I'll need to think of a different way.

Do you have a build thread which includes what you have done so I can get some better context of the modification? I have ADHD and process some things differently to 'normal' people.

Only this :-

Looks like I'm going to have to do this the hard way!
