The flash shows the cross-hatch pattern in the top. It's not really noticeable unless you look closely.

You can see the two locks right here. The top one has its original rod bracket in place while the FC one fits perfectly. You can also see that the side "wings" are too thick to slow into the door handle.

You can also see that the side \"wings" are too thick to slow into the door handle.  When grinding these "wings" down, make sure the lock is oriented straight up and down.  Getting it crooked slightly may result in you not being able to fully lock or fully unlock your door.  But I did find that there's a little margin for error here.  Plus, I had an extra lock if I needed it.

Closeup of the lock cylinder. These are the wafers. What you don't see are small springs that allow the wafers to return to their positions after the key is removed.

Here's a look at the lock disassembly. The lock is held together with a c-clip that can be removed with a flat-blade screwdriver or needle nose pliers

Another perspective. Apart from having to thin these wings, the lock fits an FC handle perfectly.

The back of the lock. You can see that the cylinder shaft is a bit longer because this fits into a switch that snaps onto the lock.

This is the other lock assembly from the eBay Mazda 323 lock set. This is not an OEM part as the keys are generic. From the pictures I've seen of the OEM ones, the included keys include a tag that is presumably the key code.
