KG dor locks
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.

kg handles
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
Rob

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.
