Now that I have an original instrument panel AND an original elektrolock, they still won’t fit. I am referring to the 28/29 Model A stuff.
The cup just isn’t deep enough to be able to fit the little screws on the sides into the lock. After filing down the bosses in the lock housing, I was able to press the lock into the dash panel cup, but as said not deep enough.
Anybody else encounter this issue ? Any smart tricks ?
