'32 5w door latch help
I just keep running into more things to fix. Working on getting doors to close and have found both door latches absolutely worn out. I can repair some of this, but the door latching dog that hooks behind the striker plate when the door is latched is worn on every face that touches anything. It is riveted on the sliding plate inside the latch assy. Bob Drake doesn't have a replacement latch and I hate to go to a bear claw latch to fix this. Trying to keep original latch setup. Has anyone run into this and found a fix? Or does anyone else have a replacement latch that you know of?
I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
