Door Latches anyone?

Anybody have a known good set of latches lying around? Mine are both FUBAR and I'm sick of messing with them.

Somebody has to have a set of junk doors they can steal em off of...

Let me know, I'm sick of messing with mine. Drivers side is definately warn out and the pass side is stuck. After hours in the melting snow trying to fix it today I'd rather just do a quick swap :flame:

As in the part that screws into the door to lock on the post in the jamb?

The actual latch itself that the rods connect to inside the door.They have the giant philips screws holding them in to the door and it's the part that makes contact with the striker on the jamb. I think I need both the driver and passenger side at this point.

no luck here , checked and thought i had some.

can you mail me your old ones,, id like to put up pics of the internals on my photo bucket site and see if i can repair them.

ill mail them back after they get done. I think a lot of people may be running into this sooner than later being how old our cars are getting.

Someone shoot me a price and I'll get the money out and my address to you. Car is pretty much taped shut for now since it's supposed to snow (how trashtastic!

)

Jcassity, I'll send em out when I get em pulled. Probably going to leave them in until I get the new ones since I can at least close the drivers door. That's the one that intrigues me more, The pass side I'm guessing just wasn't set in the right spot and when I tried to close the door I think it just mangled it a bit.

Exactly the parts I need. As long as they open from the inside and outside they'll work for me. Unfortunately I'm in a very downhill battle with this car and things braking (like the strut tower) so I'm just trying to get a few more months out of it before I strip it down. I'd hate to put my relatively clean TC through all the salt if I don't have to...
