Tour pack LOCK ASSEMBLY Instructions?
Anyone have instructions to assemble the tour pack lock assembly onto the tour pack? (The lock that holds the lid locked to the base tour pack.)
No instructions here and this thing is making me feel like a 7 year old again. After 20-30 mintes of trying different ways, I am looking for the written word. Anyone?

Without having instructions, here is how I have this assembled now:
The bottom plastic part was already attached to the tour pack bottom, so that must be correct?
But when I lock the tour pack, I can easly still lift the lid about 3/8" to 1/2" and it doesnt seem right.
Any suggestion as to what is wrong??

THANKS MIKE, THANKS STUART!
I forgot all about the service manual (which Stuart kindly reminded me about) and sure enough, the instructions are right in there.
I also found the problem. I was putting the large washer under the large nut inside when the washer was supposed to go on the lock assembly before dropping it through the hole in the cover. I didn't think that would make much of any difference but sure enough, it locks nicely now (tight). The Service Manual is worth it's weight in harley parts (and that ain't cheap!)
One less thing I gotta pay the dealer for although I will be paying him to wire this thing from the tour pack to the wiring harness of the bike.
