17bolted.jpg The nut doesn't interfere with the lock slide now, and it has been red-threadlocked.

The final steps are to adjust the angle of the new lever for optimum force, and to extend the inside release operating rod to reach the new lever.  When adjusting the step on the new lever, it should always point to the center of the pivot hole.  I moved it down ~45 degrees from what's shown here.

The latch's original functions have been left UNmodified, so it will be easy to revert to the factory configuration & function simply by moving the operating rod back to the factory inside release lever.  The new lever can remain (unused) without affecting the latch's performance or reliability.
