Thought I would update on my old tutorial since my methods have changed slightly.

Enjoy :)


p.s It's not my fault if you screw your locks etc etc just go easy and follow the instructions and you should be fine.
What a load of old BiLocks!!!!

Nice work mate!!
I might give that a try sometime :)

Btw, did you try to cutaway a disk (not the disc detainer) lock already? I wonder how that looks ;)

Nope, not tried one. If they are brass bodied, then I might have a go.

Very nicely done! The only comment I have is you might want to clarify what you are using in step #2 to "rub down the side" of the lock. (I'm assuming wet/dry sandpaper, around 400 - 600 grit, wet....)
