question to add

I'm also looking for a left door lock rod, and are there retainers of some sort for the lock cylinders??? What holds them in place?

Thanks in advance

Yes I need the lock cylinder retainers and the left lock rod.

These are different than a lock rod retainer (plastic clip.)

I made the door handle rods out of rods from another late model car.


The lock rods are a bit more complex to fab without the lock cylinders in place.
