I thought about that. I just don't want to drill the holes then after I mount it I don't have the full range of travel and the rods are binding up. I don't know if I should mark holes in the locked or unlocked positon. Guess I'm just being over cautious because the car has been painted already and I didn't catch this until after the fact and really don't want extra holes. Lol I just figured some general measurements would get me close.
Looking at the blue photo the hole is about even with the latch screw. So get the linkage all free and working and mark it. You could also stick it with two way tape and make sure it works and drill it. You could always slot the holes a bit if you had to adjust it.
I'm probably going to do something along those lines. Going to try and give it a shot tomorrow. Those holes aren't on a 69. 69's have different linkage set up. They moved the lock up closer to the front about 3" in 69.
Better re-think that. That linkage is for the outside key lock. So my 69 has to have it.
It should be on all 68-70 b-bodies. They all take the same hardware.
GTX, RR, Satellite and Belvedere have a set up like in this picture without the swivel..
Really. I can not understand why. I thought the coronet hardtops had the same functions.
I had to look at the photos a couple times.. look how much fatter the charger door is than the others!! Needed the pivot to move it out
