Commercial spare wheel door latch replacement

Post by Errol62 »

This is a bit of info I thought I’d share that I picked up from a fellow I have been swapping a few parts with. John Finch has and has had some nice FBs going well back in Melbourne area.

The escutcheon? is slightly too big for the stock hole but mine is rough anyway so filed it out a bit with small bastard. I will fill the top and bottom. Image and the back. ImageImageImage
I would still fit an original if I had a choice but they are getting hard to find. ImageOriginal for comparison. I will probably put the modified one on my van.

Excellent idea.

The keyhole will tend to fill up with all kinds of crap... a small bit of Blutack spread over the top will keep it out (and easy to remove).

Cheers,
