tcslr Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 See photo. I have a new cover and need to replace the existing which is damaged beyond repair. Locksmith and horologist say they can’t help. Any info on who might be able to help? Or guidance on how I might do this myself? I think there was also a small spring ( obviously gone) as original covers that I have observed, ‘snapped’ back. TIA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank DuVal Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 Find an older locksmith? It looks like a small "drive screw" holding the cover on, but in person probably looks quite different. There may also be bits of spring remnants on that drive screw. There should also be a nib under that cover for the spring to work against (i.e. develop force between the nib and the cover). What vehicle is the lock from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmTee Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 Maybe a jewellery shop that does fabrication and repair? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
