Trunk lock on Hannigan kit

[motoadvrider]

I got my trunk lock issue fixed by removing the lock, rotating the cylinder and reversing the latch bar so it opened turning the key the opposite direction(now you turn the key counterclockwise instead of clockwise to open it). It has worked very well every time since.
Not crazy about having to use a key every time to open the trunk but I like the cleaner look than with the T-handle. YMMV

Glad to hear ya got it working to your satisfaction. A buddy is thinking of using a vendors pop up lock. It'd only stick up about a half inch when closed, then just turn the handle 90* to open the trunk after poping it up.

forget My last post on the ebay t- handle trunk lock. the one I show is not the one I have. Cougar on Venture org has the right ebay post and is going to post it here Because I CAN'T FIGURE OUT HOW TO DO IT. It drives me nuts. I have it but can't get it to here. It has a long barrel and a straight blade. Cougar will explain how to order the right one. I think!

THIS IS THE RIGHT (T) Lock from ebay for the Hannigan
T Handle Cam Lock for Enclosures Cabinets Desks Generators Boxes Etc | eBay

Post # 12 is showing the wrong lock per jhenan (threads to short)

he knows this but does not know how to add the correct link to it. maybe a mod can take my link and place it there for him?

I wanted to change over to a T lock so bad that I could taste it. I tried on kind of T lock but the blade was the wrong size and obviously I could not see in trunk to determine why it was not working. Very frustrating.

Did you use the one that cougar used? Did you get it from the vendor that courgar used on venture.org in the trunk lock blog at the very end of the blog about page 7 or 8.

 

[motoadvrider]

If you use a generic lock assembly it probably won't fit because the lock body must be a certain length to reach in far enough and the bar must be the exact length to fit.

 

[Cougar]

Yup, Ya gatta have the length, he sells them.. there is the short one and the long one.
