[V8] help! need photos of door lock mechanism

[Kneale Brownson]

I just got a pair of these "kits" from Scott Mockry of
http://www.sjmautotechnik.com/  fame for a quarter per set more than Blau's
price.  Scott's shipping probably was $2 less than Blau would charge.
They're really not a kit.  The carrier, lock cylinder and circlip are
individual Audi parts.
