Door Latches

[mlewis]

I have limited searching skills (and patience).

Anyone have a good thread on latch improvements and install tricks ?

Thanks !!

Paul's post (https://thefactoryfiveforum.com/showthread.php?25838-Door-Latch&p=294202&viewfull=1#post294202) brings the two best links I've seen together in one place.

Search stuff ... here's the search I used: latch fix roadster site:thefactoryfiveforum.com

When you plug in that search string, you get the first link, plus some helpful information further down the thread from folks with many latches in their rear view mirror ...

HTH, -- John

I was pissed when my first latch came apart, but since I was going with all black it worked out. I was able to take the intire hinge apart, powder coat it, then do the fix in the lever and the knob.

Bingo.

these are the threads I was thinking about when I came across them when I was too early in the build and it didn't matter.

I will look these over as I work on these over the weekend.

Let me know if anyone has some tricks on mounting:)

Thanks all
