Got a few tasks done last night. I made a few more adjustments to rumble seat lid. Then I mortise the wood rumble seat lid framing to accept the lock. A palm router and a chisel was needed.
I needed to shim the lock catch as it was a bit short from engaging the lock. When I removed the catch, there were two thin original fiber board shims behind the catch already. But you were pretty deteriorated from age and moisture exposure. So I made a new 1/4" spacer and that fixed the issue.
So now the Jackard has a working and locking rumble seat lid.
