Ok, this may be a simple one to you experts, but it has me stumped! As the lock on the rear door of my 67 traveller (Daisy) was a bit temperamental, I did the decent thing and bought a new one.

I managed to fit my exhaust all by myself(after the old one fell off going over a speed bump!), and there was minimal rolling around in my road to achieve this, although I admit to the occasional rude word.
