Door latch again and again

[Doug&Deb]

As usual I only break parts made of unobtainium. I’ve managed to find one NOS drivers side latch in the US and Canada. When told the price we both kept repeating it to each other then I politely thanked him for his time. I know you have to pay the piper when parts are scarce but sometimes it’s just impossible. I’ve found two in junkyards. The one today was worse than mine (no surprise). Hopefully the next one is usable. I’m too old to weld it shut and do the dukes of hazard thing. Wish me luck.

This one is just under $200, but is used.
