Help, I am reassembling a 1960 KG I bought in pieces and am trying to put the doors together however the door locks don't appear to be correct for the door handles I have. From the photos can any one tell if these are mismatched years or if there are pieces missing.

i can say the door handles themselves are definately not early ghia. my 62 has a single bolt coming from the rear of the button not the offset pin. i have some of those handles and i think they come from 64 or later. regards greg

Thanks Greg,
How does the single pin handle then lock or unlock the door , does the pin then move out of the way of the plate on the lock so they don't touch when you turn the key. Would it just be a matter of changing the lock cylinder over for an early one with the pin or is the handle a different design all together,
thanks

the pin [actually just a10 mm bolt] is straight in line with the button and just pushes in and realeases when the button is let out. i am not sure if the door handle is exactly the same i can look when i get home in a couple of days.

No worries,if you could have a look that would be great, thanks Greg

the handles in yogi pic is correct handle, i just checked them, they r the exact size of the handles for the later ghia. i am still not sure if the button/lock
barrels are interchangeable.

Thanks guys for your help, I'll try and track down a pair of those handles,
