G wagen lock barrels
 

Are the lock barrels on the 460 interchangeable with the one for the Sprinter van?

Bear,

Welcome to Mercedes Shop's Geländewagen forum.

To answer your question above I would suggest that you look over Harold's Geländewagen website about interchangable lock barrels.

1. http://www.rubicon-trail.com/G-Class/wheels/start.html

Check out the remainder of Harald's website for further information about the Geländewagen including technical manuals.

In closing I also suggest you look over Mike's website for Geländewagen technical articles submitted by fellow Geländewagen owners.

Thanks James I'll check them out I was going to ask on the GWOA site but it's down for some reason,saw you on here this morning and figured you'd see the post and have an answer.

Not sure what you mean by the "lock barrels" - hydraulic cylinder?

You can probably get the best answer from Bill M, who uses the ID of "roughneck" on the P3 Forum.

One of these

Pete, I repeat the Bill M can probably give you the best answer; but I would hazard a guess that the answer is probably "no".

The locks are from entirely different eras.

Yes I saw your answer but was just showing the pic for clarification as there may have been some language differences as to what I mean,like we say bonnet you say hood.
I know some of the Brits have had success using MB van handles as a straight swop,I'll sign in on the P3 forum later.

cheers Pete

Pete,

If you need Bill's email addy, let me know.
