door lock actuators

Will this actuator work in my '82? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=7944309306&category=33696

It looks almost identical to the one I used in my 71 so it should work.

I bought similar ones off ebay for my 80. The problem is that they are much larger and longer than oem and take up more room. As you are probably aware, there is not much room inside the door. I had mine actually working but decided to buy oem type actuators that will fit better. Because of size, you will have to fab new mounts which is what I did not like. I found some new ones on ebay for another type of gm car...can't remember which... that is oem but cheaper than the vette catalogs. Good luck either way.

I think i'm gonna go ahead and try these actuators just because they're about 10 times cheaper than the actual corvette actuators. Is it going to be hard to switch from the stock acuators to these new ones? I'm not really sure how to wire them up.
