Door latch spring replacement

[rbecraft]

What is the procedure for replacing a broken spring on the plunger of the door latch on 37 2-door flat back?

If you mean the coiled up spring in the picture, the 2 tabs are bent apart some to change the spring, they don't like b eing bent and can easily break off, --some of the spring kits have a little clip that is pushed through and bent over in case of breakage --and to reinforce the tabs

NOS latches usually are not too $$ ---do yours look like the ones in the pictures, many cars use the same latches, but use different length inside links ---these in the picture I think are nors---aftermarket replacement---to be rivited to your link/inside release---the locking spring on the inside handle part can be replaced too

I was going to use parts out of these latches to repair my open car ones, but I found NOS ones

Is there a trick to just replacing the coiled spring?

Thanks for responding...
The two latches that you have pictured to the right with the keylock attachment look to be the same as mine...are these latches for sale? E-mail me please at
