door latch

Post by phid »

I have broken the door latch on the 289 - I have overtightened the bolt holding the adjustable catch (on body not door). I don't really want to buy a whole new one - does anyone know if parts are available? Alternative is to cut off the existing threaded bar and either weld on a new one or tap a thread and screw one in.
Thanks

Hi, I've never needed to touch this as Gerry fitted it before delivery
As you say you probably need to drill and tap a suitable hole and insert a stud
Maybe worth a quick begging email to Gerry to see if he will sell only the catch rather than a complete set
