Hi I am stiil putting my Berli together.
I need some advice re the best SVA door locks to use.
The berli doors are very narrow other than the Car Building solutions locks are there any others I can use? ie from a production car etc etc?
Any information would be greatly appreciated

Hi Malc,
If you have the original Berlinetta locks I think it is possible to adapt them (without too much work) for the SVA. By bending a 5mm rod into a semicircle and welding it onto the fastener, then drilling through the inner door skin via the latch aperture with a 5 mm drill you get the double action lock needed. I can send you some photos and more explicit details if you mail me at [email protected]
Best wishes
James
