I beleive they are operated by using vac to lock, spring defualt to open???? so it may work.

where in the metro are you??

Mobetta,

The gas flap, I believe is due to residual moisture. As after washing the car, one winters day, it almost succeeded in freeze/locking me into the car. That was the first time I had to "hack" into the analog gas-flap lock, via the trunk.

We've just moved into the St Paul area, from the Mlps area.

If you glimps a silver "cyclops fogged light" 300 D in warping into your rear-view mirror on 494/35E/35W/100, or pulling numerous "G's" on the freeway cloverleaf's, that's us!

To quote a movie line, "she may not much to look at, but she's got it where it counts".
