81 Lock Actuator Linkage help

I am helping a friend with his 81 dor locks. The linkage that goes from the actuator to the latch assembly is missing on the passenger side. The drivers side actuator has a rod still attached but I am unsure if all of the pieces are there. Does anyone have pictures or schematics that show the parts that go from the actuator up to the latch. Are these parts even available. I have looked through the typical places and haven't seen much in way information about this.

The only way I was able to get those little rods that connect to the actual door lock actuator was to purchase a used pair of actuators off this forum.

I just saw that in my above comment (which probably made _no_sense) I said supporting member, and not supporting "vendor". It was supposed to be a tip of the hat for all of the valuable information we get here from Wilcox. So

Cool what about the clips? Also you wouldn't by any chance have a passenger side access cover around there?

I've got the clip for sure. The cover, I'll assume the large one. I will have that as well.

You might give Norm a call today at 812-288-7103. I'll give him a heads up too.

I think your friend or you may have beat me to giving them the heads up.. LOL... Sorry about that.

The access cover 15.00
clip is a buck... the link is on the site. Since the access cover is not on the site and used just let me know... sorry for the confusion.
