E-Body (Barracuda 1971) Door Lock Cylinder and Gasket - 04/03/18 04:56 PM
I am replacing the broken door handle on my 71 Barracuda. It had been replaced once before by the dealership....many years ago. Upon disassembly of the broken handle, I did not find a door lock cylinder gasket as is shown in the Plymouth Parts Illustration Catalog. I think the part number is 2583860. Did the service tech leave off the gasket or did this 71 model not require one? I went ahead and purchased a reproduction gasket. It fits the cylinder, but seems to serve no purpose. It does not get sandwiched tightly between the cylinder and the pot metal retainer. I have attached pictures. Any help is appreciated. I am confused!
Thanks,
David
