Lock Anti-Theft, 1970

[Markus]

Hi,

I'm just before painting the body of my 1970 corvette. Does somone know what
diameter the hole in the back for the anti-theft lock should have? Is it mounted
with an additional bezel? It is a late 1970.

thanks

The 70 AIM shows all the specs.(UA6, sheet A4) The hole is 1.20". Also a .205 hole on the larger holes perimeter. This becomes a slot to align the tab on the escutcheon that mounts to the exterior side of the 1.20 hole. Then the lock unit goes through the escutcheon. The lock unit is held in place with a "U" shaped retainer clip on the inside.

If your car originally had the alarm and someone filled the hole over, you may be able to see where it was from up under the inside. Thats how I located mine.Otherwise, the hole is centered horizontally across the rear (split the difference between the inner lights), and 5.90" vertically up from the bottom of the rear tail light panel.( measured from the lower outer edge that returns to the top of the licence plate recess.
