interior door pin removal / filling?

[stemon]

ive delocked the car and lowered the interior door pins but is there anything i can fill the holes with if i completely remove the pin / rod ?

car is a mk3 cav

Use to be able to get blanking plugs,but from where i dont know.

did this in my corsa, i just retrimmed to door cards and it covered the holes. however on the drives door i cut the top off the door pin and filled it so that when the car is locked the pin sits flush.

Thanks for the replys , it would be nice if i could get a blanking plug , didnt any vaux come with them ? , will try vauxhall later

Mine are going to be replaced with a flashing LED on each for indication if the alarm is on etc.

[stemon]

very nice idea dom , might give that a go myself , i guess you just link into the flasing led ?

[Dom]

Yup - I'm going one step further though and using a tri colour led.

Red for armed, green for door open and orange/red for alarm triggered.

Part of the new Mk3 project once I've got the MFD/TID bit out of the way

[stemon]

that will be well smart , would like to see that done . but it sounds a bit tricky for me so i'll go for just linking the leds to the current led ... will look into tri coloured leds tho as never seen any before

you might find that they dont flash - could be the one on the alarm has the flashing built into the LED.

Check the voltage across the LED - if its 12 volts when the system is armed then get proper 12 volt led's (or use normal ones with a dropping resistor). If its only about 3 volts or so - go for low current (1ma) Led's - they wont be superbright but wont put a strain on the alarm to drive them.
