I have a KRA 59F that I had chemically stripped and powder coated. It is looking great but I have one problem. The locking mechanism. I have not been able to find the rods that connect to the lock and hold the front panel that covers the drawers when closed. Does any one have some measuremnts or pictures on how the rods are bent and fastened to the lock. I would like to get new but I am willing to make my own if I have good information. Is the lock a Tee handle type lock or is the key the turning mechanism. I have new locks coming this week but I dont know how to bring it all together.
Also I have a KRA-380 stripped and powder coated to compliment the above box. It has a side handle and should have two rubber stops/ends on each side. I am looking for new/used end caps or some sort of way of putting the finishing touches on it.
Thank you in advance for any help.

Re: KRA 59F Lid
I started making the lock rods for my mid box. I got rods from Menards/home depot that I believe are screen door tensioners. They have a flat spot with 2 holes on one end and had threads on the other but that didn't matter after they were cut to length and ground to a slight point. Then a lock piece with the lock in the center and a space for each rod to connect to.
