Does anyone know if the central locking of a fuego or R18 or R20 is basically the same as a 16TX and has anyone tried to transfer/modify one of those sytems to a 16? I am particularily interested in the actual inner door components/system.

Thanks

Is there a chance you can take some photos or diagrams of the locking kits?

I have a Fuego here I can compare for you / us.

This system?

I am thinking more of the internal door system, ie the locking "motors", set up inside the door etc.

Hope this makes sense.. put some photos of the door in for scale.

Other considerations even if they dont suit could be the crash sensor in the Fuego (with the big red button under the dash - drivers side).

From what I can see they look similar, but on the other hand I have only seen the R16 locking solenoids on picture in the spare parts book.

The interesting point must be that the stroke of the R18/Fuego solenoid is long enough to lock/unlock the R16 lock.
Another thing is how the manual override system works. If I remember correctly the R18/Fuego lock cylinder has a plastic peg that pushed the actual lock lever if the battery is dead/central locking malfunction.
