Door Lock Install Kit

Anyone out there install one of those Moss door lock install kits ?
I ordered a new "matched" lock kit for my Midget & also ordered the "Install Kit" part # 402-195

https://www.mossmotors.com/Shop/ViewProducts.aspx?PlateIndexID=65001&SortOrder=1

supposed to be easy & better than the original spring clips... trouble is there are no instructions so I'm left guessing how it goes in, I think I got how everything goes except not sure what to do with the plastic washers... ideas ? looks like the "U" clip replaces the spring clip, & I assume the beveled washer goes against the door skin so the little screws in the U clip have somethin to push against, think the plastic washers might be a "filler" where the old spring clip tangs grabbed but not sure...
 
Might they go between the lock and the paint?
 
hmmm..., the lock set has a nice rubber gasket already that will go between the lock & paint, the plastic washers in the install kit are "crude" hard plastic, look like they are to be used where they won't be seen ;-)
 
Whats a door lock? And a trunk lock, does it look something like a plith?
 
I'm still looking for my trunk lock as well.
 
ha ha ha you BE guys are soooo funny :smile:
Got this install diagram from Moss support, posting incase some one else needs it. Guess that plastic washer is a gasket - yikes, I stayed with the rubber gasket only.
