Also, which lock suits which model? (chrome ones and black ones?)

does anyone know the date the locks change in early hz?

It is important to people like me doing an anal build on a hz gts lol.

I believe it was a change with an ADR. I will look it up. ;)

I believe the change over was around the end of Sept. 78 to the black glovebox lock and ignition switch. (end of year change.... model update)

You will notice Jennie and Rodneys Madeira red van is a 5/78 and has the silver ignition barrel and chrome glovebox lock. We discussed these when I was down there visiting.
