jord Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Is there an easy way to replace the upper and lower springs in the door latch? also the remote door handle spring. I am looking for a source for the spring keeper, the hole is 1/4 in square. Everything is installed with rivets.Will I be forced to drill out everything and find new rivits. Thanks all again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larry butcher Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 I think I went through this one time on my '38 Conv. Coupe. Pulled into a show and closed the driver door and "BAM" , the spring broke. The door would not close and stay closed. Removed the lock mech. and purchased the spring from one of the venders( Mac's, Carpenter. ) I think they are color codeed. Yes, you will have to grind off rivets. Good Luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jord Posted August 30, 2019 Author Share Posted August 30, 2019 Thank's Larry; kinda what I expected, replaced the remote handle spring by opening the tabs and fortunately they did not break. I am thinking of changing all the springs that way everything inside the doors all will be new. Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
