Title: Belna door lock turn lever Post by: daniel.bangham on 30 March, 2022, 11:05:31 AM At last years AGM, I talked to someone about Augusta / Belna door locks. At the time I offered to make a batch. I am now ready to make good on the offer. This post is to assess the demand. I have to decide what method of manufacture and what material to use. The picture shows an original and a working prototype. The prototype is made in a very durable plastic, and works very well. The surface finish is not optimised yet. I can also get them cast in zinc or aluminum, if the demand is there. Please let me know if this is of interest. I would like to thank the huge help of Andy Morris, (Lotus Elan enthusiast and restorer) in this project.
