Central Locking

• Page 1 of 1
Good evening,
I've just been troubleshooting my central locking (I assume my car has a Spyder supplied CL kit) and I have found the following connector has snapped (see photo).
The piece is used to join two parallel rods, in this case the rod from the CL actuator to the door lock rod.
I'm sure this is a general piece of diy hardware but I'm not quite sure what I should Google for, has anyone seen one before or got a name?
Thanks
Gavin

Yes. Other kits have similar clamps but the Hawk one looks identical to yours.

Thanks for the tip, I was racking my brains trying to think of a similar solution.
At its simplest I'm sure two small pieces of plate(one either side of rods) with a bolt between them could be used to clamp the rods together.
After a quick look on eBay it seems I can get a whole central locking kit including actuator and rod clamp for under ?3!!! Seems a waste when I don't need the actuator...
Thanks again
