The Ford Barn

Went to move the 39 last week, only to discover that the drivers door latch spring was broken. I took it out today, I'm hoping I can repair it (I think I have the spring from an old repair kit) but I'm not sure everything else is where it should be. Does anyone have a pic, or a breakdown of the latchworks, or possibly a spare D/S latch they would be willing to sell? The one thing I'm a little concerned about is the shoulder pin that the inside pull link rides in. I can grind the weld to remove it, and try to weld it back in place once the spring is replaced. I'm also curious about the little "c" shaped stop that is held in place by the shoulder pin. Is there supposed to be a spring (?) attached to it? Thanks, Paul.
