Looking for information on S2 interior door lever, and I suppose the exterior connection too.
Suspecting early S2 & S1 have the key in a different location. Also, I believe the interior lever is a bit different.
1, photos, links etc. I have the single upright lever (maybe this is where my confusion comes from-if there is another variety?) I require the right side.
2 is there an option to add the more available later S3-4 release and or is it worth it (maybe this is actually just a wanted ad or I should sell my left and change to 3-4?)
Maybe a longer list, this was the first item for the hunt.
Suppose I will also be looking for exterior & interior handle (don’t particularly care about condition) also rod and hinge etc. There appear to be no mount on the body either. So…if available also please?
to really confuse the situation, back to my first post in this thread
is there another option.
If I take a plug/mold of my S4 inner door skin, I presume I can use available parts. The S2 door lever, latch, and associated parts seem unobtainable/rare.
If I were to modify my S2 doors, what would the down side be, and benefits?
but maybe someone has a set for the right, and I am in absolutely no rush

Wow!
Yes please!

Sorry I may have mislead you, I was not saying the locks were available, I ment to say would these pictures be of use to you.
Sorry for any confusion.
Wasn’t too confused
Yes, the pictures are perfect, the scan doesnt really show it very well.
My left side is against a wall, cant access it at all to polk about
Quote “What is the correct lever, types26/36 pic shows what i have on the left, but the right/correct side.”
Just to be clear, there are no links or rods on the S1/2 assemblies unlike the S3/4 (PITA system)
The opening buttons act directly on the catch mechanism.
The left and right are identical in operation so unsure why you think there is a difference apart from been handed.
They occasionally come up on ebay but often do not have the key/lock and are advertised as 26R type, this only means they were from the rear door from a BMC car…can’t remember which one…Morris Oxford or Austin I think. The front BMC ones have the key operated lock but are quite rare.
Supporting Barney and Brians info, I have/had an early S2 sn 39xx and a later 44xx: the early one had the Horizontal lever and the later car had the Vertical lever, they both mounted to the same type mechanism as Brian (ident: type26/36) pictures, both use the same outside handle and lock tumbler. (Incidentally the inside moulding of the doors between S1/2 and S3/4 are significantly different so a later mechanism highly difficult in an early car!)
Below is a picture of a Vertical RH unit (note a horizontal LH can look like a vertical RH if not examined closely the horizontal I recall are longer and more pointy at the end).
My apologies if this is Deja vu all over again.
If interested in the part in the pict. make me an offer just worth my time to mail to you. I have sent you stuff before if you may recall.
Best wishes, Jack (in Ontario)
Your top link didn’t bring up anything relevant when I viewed it; lots of other interesting stuff though.
The second showed a correct lock mechanism though without a lock, ie a rear door latch;
The third is still relevant.
The S1/2 interior handles are unique and are just a bent pieces of metal.
The external door pull is unique (and brass), but it has been copied, I believe, and offered on this forum.
