Ok if youve seen my car it was a stripped roller, and I've been slowly building to a complete car. I got this year was new handles and locks. Now I haven't gotten the locks to a Smith yet. But I can't find how the locks are held in the new handles. It looks like there is two screws for a retainer. But nothing came in the handles or the lock kit, except the spring steel fork. Do I use that instead or am I missing something here???

Yes 2 screws hold the cylinder in place. The fork you refer to is for the trunk cylinder or different model doors

Yeah a friend set me straight after I posted this. I'm now on the hunt for those parts on some junk cars I know of. Thank you though.

They are easy to re-key. I believe the screw head holds the lock in place; What parts do you need?

The "U" shaped piece that holds the lock k in place with the two screws. At least that's how my friend discribed it.
