David how do you remove the lock barrel from a 131 door handle? do you know how?

[djape1977]

haven't tried that, but it could be the case since keys are the same as on old fiats

[david]

when you have the door handle off the car the back cap has a pin, this can be corroded with age now but drift this out using the stem from a suitable sized rivet, using a socket underneath to push the pin into and the cap will come off revealing the centralising spring, remove this and as I recall the barrel will push out through the front

Thanks Davis i was baffled how to do this & have new handles off a super & want to put the locks into a racing handle.

linkage for brake balance valve - should be the same as on 131



brake master cylinder - as i said before, same as for fiats, including the bits inside. rebuild sets still available for lada


rear brake cyl. - still haven't changed those on my 131 so i don't know if theyre the same

[mirafioriman]

From memory the 131 has a much simpler arrangement for the rear brake load valve with a rod that goes through a bracket on the trailing arm mounting.

[djape1977]

i might be wrong. perhaps then its as on 125 or 132? beats me, i know i saw that arangement somewhere recently

[eugene]

Also note that the door handles(outside) on my Nivas are the same on the series one 131.I am pretty sure that the handles on the sport are the same ,but i am open to be corrected  .Eugene

As stated fitment for load valve is different being a straight bar with a loop in it but valve its self is the same as I was told, just fit 131 bar

excellent David, thanks again.

[david]

djape, this is 131 cyl so looks the same and no reason why it wouldnt be I suppose

[hammerbeirne]

Is there a difference between a mk 1 and mk 2 door lock that is the bar that connects the locking button on the inside of the door is it shorter on a mk 1?

[david]

Do you mean the rod between the back of the lock and the catch on the door ? if so the mk2 had a totally plastic one and as I can remember the mk 1 was a metal rod threaded at either end to which plastic caps screwed on which had the same size hole to clip on and I have seen mk2s with mk1 type so they must interfit and the doors are same

[hammerbeirne]

No David i mean the part that the inside lock button screws onto its a metal bar
