Did a search and didn't see anything, but perhaps I didn't do the search right.
Specifically interested in fitment and how close they are to factory NOS...as well as any design improvements? Mine work okay, but the chrome is tired and the thought of rechroming fatigued metal is unappealing. NOS means a search, while I wonder about the quality of later factory parts given what we've seen. The 914rubber pieces could be a nice alternative, but I'd love some pics and feedback from those who bought them. Thanks in advance! pete |

It’s important to keep everything on the latch mechanism and door clean and lubed. Most of the reason the flapper on the latch is broken is excessive pressure from pulling on the latch. This is true of all the locks on the car. I’ve taken apart ~30 locks and everyone is gummed up with 50 years of grit and old grease. Unless it operates smoothly and with light pressure, you will break the lock, the latch or the linkage.
