Try autoloc.com, also watsons-steetworks.com. I got mine off ebay for about $130.00 for solenoids, remotes, and relays, and they're autoloc and so far so good.

Have you shaved the handles off yet? Don't know if you saw my last reply in a previous thread, but shaved doors are a PITA to no end. Just my experience, FWIW. Good luck to ya.

No, not really easy, I've been wrenching for a good many years on VW's so I have some experience making things fit on cars they weren't really meant to go on. I had to fabricate new door panels to hide the solenoids and take the door mechanism out and tweak the spring to get it all to work easier. Took a couple of days to get one door to work, but after I figured it all out the other one only took a couple of hours. Also mine is a "woody" and I did not have to worry about all the body work on the outside since it's all covered with wood anyway.

Good luck
