[QUOTE="Yowie, post: 1451054, member: 98432"] Tricky to get a pic of the broken bit. It's a piece that gets pushed/pulled by the lever. It's right up the back of the lever. If you shine a torch under the lever you can just see it. When the lever is raised it pulls that piece. Two pins moulded into the piece fit into holes in the lever. The pins have broken off mine due to excess force. It would be possible to cut away material from the inside of the case to gain access, but patience can be handy in situations like this. More dang patience when trying to open the case would have been handier. And now another L/H case would be handiest of all! :) Depending on how good a locking solution I can come up with I'll continue using that case, though it will not be as weatherproof as it once was. But if I get another case I will cut the broken case open to see just how that mechanism works - and post photos. On the bright side, the mechanism that attaches the case to the bike is unharmed and the actual lock still works as it should. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
