I have yet to tear into my door panels and that's coming soon, but it's a pretty rare thing to find something that is totally not rebuildable or something that can't be recreated or repaired on these cars.

With that said, I am looking forward to getting my locks working correctly.

Can't you fabricate a bracket for yours???? Jb weld the sucker onto your new valve and install it... What is this new valve that you did find? Got a part number? I'm betting mine is junk too. :-(
