Solex locks

I am looking at getting some locks for my 72 Rx2 S2, from a 76 capella. I would be getting both front doors, trunk, and fuel door lock. But when I was talking to a buddy he said something about solex locks. Dose anyone know if they make anything that will fit in a Rx2? If so how much would something like this cost..

Thank you guys,

Kick,

I have actually seen a set of these on a RX 2. They are locks that actually lock, unlike the shitty ones that come stock. I do not know where you get them thought or what they cost.

i have those. my buddy brought them back from the Philippines. In fact, APC type of locks, sold at pep-boys, are copies of the original solex which has been around since the '80's in Manila. It comes in 3 cylinder locks, master/regular keys and all the hardwares.

Kick, as far as I know, I think the solex locks are kinda universal. My kit just comes with 3 locks and a couple keys.

Hmm..
Ok, I just want to get something close to the stock one. So I won't have any trob putting them in. I think it would be better to go with those over getting stock ones from a used car. What do you all think?.

Im sure that some of my relatives will be heading to Manila for vacation. I will order a dozen. I sold several last month and have 2 left but I will be installing them in my RX-3 and RX-2 when I find the time. I will keep you posted.
