Driver's door (RHS) kept coming open on my 1930 CCPU - same doors and catch as a Tudor, coupe etc. I found that the door fitting was hitting the door post too low to engage properly. Out with the angle grinder and cut about 5 mm off the bottom of the catch and spaced the fitting on the door post out about 5 mm also. End of problem.

Red Green would suggest duct tape.

I think it should be said that Mitch is having a little fun with us! To begin with, Mitch has two Tudors, both of which he "refuses" to disclose what his restoration costs were. I have personally seen both and they are beautifully done with no expense spared! Mitch is in the trade and I'm sure get discounts that aren't available to most of us. But I am not jealous. Here I am, living on SS and a small pension, eking out a living, paying my taxes, Paying retail for everything. And supplimenting my meagre subsistence with sales of scrap metal and surplus firewood, Hoping the price of dog food doesn't go up to much. The Doctor says I'm losing weight now. All the while I'm still buying a few parts at a time to try to fix these cars up, a dollar here, fifty cents there all saved up so I can get my next order in. Sigh...
When I posted that thread "Cheap Fixes". I was hoping to have more of good quality DIY parts manufacture. I can't be the only one who produced their own wood. I doubt if I'm the only one who made their own seat springs, etc. I really wasn't looking for farmer fixes
