Reverse cam in key lock hole.

Hey guys.
I’m replacing my tailgate latch and am wondering if anyone has done the same.
I have brought a new reverse cam as my old one crapped out after 13 years.
It is much smaller than the old chunker hence the need to replace the latch. Can anyone give me the size of the hole for the key lock
The new cam is about 18-20mm diameter, will it fit neatly into the key lock hole or is is better just to go blank and drill my own hole.

Cheers guys.
Merry christmas. 👍👍

So you have some sort of tailgate remote unlock and are replacing the lock with a camera?

I don't get, 99-08 tailgates don't have locks.
