I got it, Thanks Guys! of course there's another problem, the new location is full of rusty corrosion, plastic plunger piece is stuck, gonna have to soak and wire brush it clean before inserting, always something.

Any of you guys messed around with changing/swapping the key lock cylinder, what’s involved?

Thanks much Kube, one less nagging question floating around in my brain.

How do you identify an original for a deluxe, I was on Ebay and it seems there are three different styles of the center section. I have seen U shaped spot welded bars, cast solid bars,..? maybe some are old replacements or...

No, matter of a fact I just sold the whole car, too many folks wanted to buy it from me so I put a price on it and it's gone.

old sale off the market

Thanks guys.

What are these and where do they go, maybe they are not for a convertible? Thanks

Well after another close inspection I did find a .030 marking on a piston.

That engine is presently sitting in a 41 coupe, If you notice my profile pic. I have a 40 convert with a flat head that looks the same as this one however I could not find any stamping on top of the bell and the heads just have an A stamped on them no 59, what do I make of that?

I cleaned off the top of a piston and looked closely with a magnifying glass and could not find any size stampings.

Pulled the heads here's the view, did a rough cylinder measurement, inside caliper and tape measure and the bore looks to be a bit under 3 1/4 inch, no cylinder ridge either but it is stuck.

Top of bell is marked 59L and the heads are 59A what do you guys think?

Yes both sides have a lock a few inches below handle, mystery solved it was just froze, more oil and more extreme wiggle pressure eventually freed it up, hard to believe it could lock up that tight.

Say I have been getting all the doors of my 41 to open and close nicely but for some reason the driver side exterior handle will not budge, it opens nicely from the inside, I have put considerable lube and pressure on it but nothing, could it be it is locked by way of the key and if so is there...
