Hello,
We do the lock work for a local company that restores old Corvettes. They currently have several ('53-'59) Vettes underway. We are trying to find the "Ridged" facecaps for the door and trunk cylinders. A picture can be seen at:
Any help locating this hard-to-find part would be greatly appreciated. COUNTRY LOCKSMITH Fitchburg, Massachusetts

If you put a space before the "at" and the HTTP: then the link will be active in Outlook Express, and will be a lot easier for your readers.
It worked fine the way it was in Netscape.... :^)

Shiva, Thanks for your suggestion. I have The B&S Red Book. Mine only goes back to 1968 for parts. We tried calling Strattec. but all we got was "Huh?". We have also tried to get these caps from supposed "Old Corvette" (Eckler's,Hemmingway,etc.) parts houses. No go. Eckler's has the reproduction locks(with ridged face caps) available, but the company that makes them refuses to sell the face Caps only; "You have to buy the locks too." I don't need or want the locks. I have original ones that we are trying to keep as original as is possible. We'll keep trying I guess; but Thank You for your USEFUL suggestion.
