83 watercooled westy. Driver's door lock mechanism is playing up. Door will not close - period. Seems like the issue is the catch (latch?) mechanism (the bit that 'clicks' on to the door spindle and that is triggered by the outside handle finger latch) - it's not sticking up to latch the swivel mechanism in place when the door is shut. Not sure if I'm describing this well or using non-standard terms, but can anyone offer some advice for fixing? Can't see any new parts for this on Gwesty, Bus Depot, etc., so hoping this can be fixed. Thanks a lot guys, Angus |
