I was looking to replace the black door lock cylinder covers on my 82 Firebird. The locks themselves are fine but the covers are beat up pretty bad and don't look good on a restoration. I suppose I could replace the the door locks themselves but would like to have the one key for all the locks. I found the cover on the net which said are for 80's up GM Cars but when I got them they were too small. The diameter of the covers I bought are 1.1/6" or approximately 26.5mm. The diameter of the old cylinder lock covers are approximately 28.5mm. I had a look around but can't get this size. I don't understand why there are different sizes. Does anyone know is it possible to get these and if so where. I am pretty sure the locks in the car are original.

Thanks.

 

If you're into stainless steel, I got some covers off ebay advertised for use on a 1st gen camaro and they fit perfectly.

 

I bought a complete matching set of new locks years ago from Classic Industires.

Thats the Way I would go.

Shiny covers look like shiny covers.

 

I also got two locks in the trunk so would like to have the same key for all. A new set only does the exterior locks as far as I know.
