Does anyone have a source for or a workable substitute for the Woody door latches? I need 3 of them for my Station Wagon Delivery project.

I have searched the internet supply houses to no avail. Perhaps someone knows of a supplier?

Many thanks! Bob C

I used a 1930-31 Briggs Sedan latch by adding about 1/2 inch to three sides of the latch to create a surface mount latch.

WW: thanks for the suggestion. I'll look up the Briggs latch set.

If you find a source please let me know. # of the 4 latches are complete but I have one that is missing the metal on the outer edges. For now it works but I'd love to try to find an original. Within the next couple of weeks I'll be heading up to PA and will check with Mike's Model A acres and see if he has any.
