door lock mechanism

[Gunning]

i thought i better create a thread for this
here are some pics
first pic shows the angle the outside cog can achieve
second pic shows how the movement affects the internal locking mechanism

[Gunning]

looking at the 'nipple' visible from outside
second shows some movement

[Gunning]

this pic is really crap, hard to try focus
what i was trying to highlight is the "neck" on the bracket thats worn, allowing for the movement

Yep, she looks fairly shagged Gunning 

Probably best to look for a good second hand unit.

put a spot of weld on the nipple, clamp it first

[Gunning]

i was thinking the same as both you guys....shes rooted....then i dont want it to beat me
try to make a collar or something to restrict movement of nipple
thanks guys, much appreciated
