Wanted: Door latch for 56 Imperial

Post by slantflat »

Hi everyone.

My driver's door latch has begun the dreaded popping back half way when I close the door.

I'm looking for a complete door latch, this is the mechanism on the door itself with the star wheel. Are these available new, NOS, rebuilt?

If anyone has one they'd part with, or ideas where one might be found, I'd love to hear from you. Or if there's a way to repair the one that's on there that might be good, too.

Thanks everyone.

Checked him out. He doesn't have what I need right now, but that's quite an inventory he has. He doesn't give an address but his phone number is up around Dayton OH.

I got this site listed in my bookmarks that you could try. Not sure if it's still active or not, but the site is still up and running:

Thanks Adam. That place looks like semi-organized chaos! He doesn't have a latch, either. He has a 56 Imperial parts car, but it looks like all the latches are already gone.
