Default Exterior Door Locks

One of the few exterior aspects of the Vortex that I do not like is the exterior keylock fitted half way down the driver's door. I can see why they put it there, given the actuation on the lock mechanism.

I'm using Rover 827 locks (not MGF ones) and intend to leave the electric actuators on them for central locking. I've sussed the wiring with help from a copy of Rover's Electrical Fault Finding Manual so hope to be able to connect them up to Phantom's bast&%**d wiring loom - with a bit of luck

Question is, has anyone used an external electric keyswitch (triggering the lock's actuator motor) rather than a mechanical one? I reckon I need one with momentary contact clockwise (say) to lock and anticlockwise to open. Has anyone sourced such a switch - maybe Maplin or RS? I reckon it would look a hell of a lot neater just forward of the door's external push-button compared to the one Phantom suggest.

Any thoughts or advice?

Greg
