    Thanks everyone.

    Struggling a little here. We have just looked at a few cars in the shop, it appears that the majority of the 71s have the lock offset. Does anyone else have a 71 that could share some insight. My car is a Euro delivered car, not sure if that makes a difference.

    Thanks

    that should not make a difference Jim

    RHS earlier ones were offset to the left and then for 71 Model year onward to the center just like LHD ones
