A little help is required!
I've finally got an MOT on the brick so I am finally legal! Very Happy

However on my first trip my top box lock decided to shear its pins and hence no longer lock itself!!
When I took it apart a spring pinged out and its not clear exactly where it lives-any pics or diagrams would be most apreciated!!

Here's a link with pics, it depicts R-bike side bag lock cylinders, but it also applies to your top box lock cylinder. Good luck! Smile

Thanks for the link... not what I was looking for alas...

The piece I am refering to is a strip of sprung steel that lives somewhere under the lock cover mechanism.. possibly to hold the handle down in place... does that help?
