Solex locks

Any one here fitted Solex locks on their RX2? If so do you know where I could get one? I bought a set for my 510 years ago and now I can't find it anywhere.

Solex readily available ex Australia. I know I a mate here used the APC brand locks with success. His only complaint that the weather took a toll on the plastic ring.

I had the locks on a previous car, my experience with them is that they will keep out majority of thieves, but when they age, they can start to play up which means they will also keep you out. Better than the standard locks only because they can be dead-locked and are harder to destroy. But, if someone wants to break in they will. I rarely left the car out of sight, so at the time, I figured a kill switch and GOOD CONDITION Mazda locks were just as safe.. my suggestion would be to invest in a top quality immobilizer.
If you do decide to go with Solex locks, send an email to these guys: Contact us - Car Toys - High Performance Parts, back in 2005 they were selling them for $49.95 (3 pack) while other places wanted $120.
I think a company called Nice Products sell them as well

Otherwise you could just email the manufacturer:

owning an rx2 with 15" or smaller wheels will give you all the old school cred you need . If you need any rx2 parts I have a ton .
