im going to be using different screws on mine though as i dont want to use the security bolts (need 2 sold separately) where the hex breaks off after it's torqued. be too much of a hassle to redo in the field if the new one fails.

Im going to keep a little kit in my Z with the 'old' lock as backup and some tools to use to do the work.




np!
Wait, you spent 500 bucks to be "proactive"?? Damn.
