Default Detachables Lock Help!

Just added 46063-98 to Detachable Tour-Pak® rack. doesn't seem to fit right . Anyone else have one? Tried to use the spring washer and the lock hits the sideplate and can't rotate into place.

Go and find one and take a look at how it goes together.

I don't think I used the spring washer. Just make sure you have the same spacing as the original, and it should work.

Once you get it installed, you will most likely need to modify the key in order to release it. I went through the same issue here https://www.hdforums.com/m_1944101/m...tm.htm#1944101

I bought the 2-pack of the same lock you are talking about and had the same issue with my tour-pack. I installed it the way it is described in the instruction however I added one more thing - I put a washer inside the hole of the actual lock so this would allow the screw to tighten up onto the stud of the tour-pack frame. On mine the machine screw was jamming the lock assembly up against the detachable frame which would keep the lock from being able to rotate. The washer, being small enough to fit inside the hole, basically extended the mounting stud so the lock wouldn't have the chance to get mashed against the detachable frame.

I can take some pics / draw a diagram if it would make things easier.

Thanks for the input that is a great help. Did the area where the lock is hit the side plate?
