As i didn't strip the bus i bought and all the bits came in boxes i sometimes get stuck on re-assembly.
Now is one of those times
Rear tailgate lock....... do i fit the outer button first or the lock itself. If i fit the button i cannot rotate the lock into the door and if i fit the lock i cannot see the hole for the screw

I am at the point of welding it shut haha :sign0013:
 
Fitted the bugger
I found a method that works

Fit the key button on the outside and tighten in place with the screw.
Put keys in the lock and turnlatch to the right
Slide the catch in from under the tailgate as far as possible then turn the key so the latch is central and a jiggle on the catch and it slipped into place
3 allen bolts on the catch lock it in to place

Job done
