    Hello PT81Jan, I’ve been reading through a post from a couple years back regarding the door latch and drooping handles.  I see the repair you made and I want to fix mine as well.  When you disassembled the latch to weld, were there any rivets that you had to drill through?  I haven’t taken my latch assembly apart and was wondering how it comes apart to fix? 
     

    Thanks in advance for the assist!

      Hi Steve, sorry for my late reply, I was not very active the last weeks.
      No, there weren`t any rivets but 2 sheet metal tongues / lashes which I had to bend open.That Of course one of it broke. Not an issue, could it after the latch repair with a weld spot. See picture red arrow (welded from the back side). As far as I remember that is the only part which holds the whole assembly together.

      Let me know, if you need more info !

      Best regards, Jan
