Hi there,

Could somebody post a couple of pictures of the door latch mechanism? I am talking about a picture of the door showing the outer latch parts and a picture of the body where the door latches to. I need to get together some parts and don't have my manuals to consult. I think the body side has a C shaped latch thing and am not sure what the door side looks like. I appreciate all the help and advise.

heres a few....

Did that latch get a shot of silver paint? I don't see the rubber bumper on the latch portion but it seems to have the right shape.

No silver paint, just clean steel (Carburator cleaner/dip can) the rubber deteriated a long time ago. and any that was left, the cleaner took it off.

There was enough grease on it to keep the metal somewhat protected and cleaned up real easy. It's all there on the door and catch of the body. The flash of the camera blinded it and you just can't see it.

Not trying to steal the topic, i have some issues with door. Basically just need to know what im missing from this pic. Dovetails i know but should there be any rubbers etc?

there's supposed to be a rubber strip that attaches to the bottomside of door, but no rubber on jamb.
