Re: Rebuilding Roadster Door Latches info needed??
msmaron,
On the two that I have done, there were a few places that were spot welded or pressed to hold the halves together, carefully ground these areas down until the halves separated. I then built up with weld any worn areas and filed or ground these areas until things were back to normal dimensions. I was able to locate some springs that I cut down to get the correct length as they were a bit long. Put it back together and tack welded the ground down spots and softpacked my tacks until smooth. They both work like a charm. Hope this helps, I am doing this from memory, as I recall it was not a difficult task. Darryl in Fairbanks |

Hi Mark,
I can't claim to be expert, but I restored a 29 Roadster and have owned it for about 4 years. I built up a fair library of books, articles and web site links but haven't come across a 'how to do it' on door latches. |
