FFS. I just sent a pair to the scrap yard Sorry...

They're a total bitch to replace, too. The main window is much easier to replace, but they always go for the damn quarterlight.

Yup, they do. You need a couple of hours, a rivet gun and patience. Do-able for not much money though

Testament to the locks though, anything else of the era you can just punch the barrel.

rivit gun? :O great, I dont have one of them

surely it would be possible to hammer the rivit in?

Not really. On the plus side, a cheap one is only a tenner or so.

AH HA! "Bend". Thats exactly what a rivet would do if you hammered it. The rivet gun works by pulling against a lip on the rivet, forcing the metal through the hole, so a hammer wouldn't work.

On a serious note, what %$£$*%!! Did they get anything?
