door latch lock mechanism - new
For those of you who have used them in your cars, what do you think about the reproduction door latch lock mechanisms. Do they fit and function like original. And is corvette central the best place to get them, thanks

Both Zip and Corvette Central have these at identical prices $99.95 and I think FirstGear (Herb) on here has used them with no issues; however if you remove and clean up your existing units and relube them you may be surprised at how well they "spring back to life"...there simply isn't that much to them...

Nobody can "order something out from under you" and deplete the stock while you are building your order.
