FOUND LH interior door latch bumper for 68-70 B-body

[Richard Cranium]

Need this interior door latch bumper (in the 1:00 position from the screw) for the LH driver's door. They are different from right side to left.

Thanks!

I’ll bet you could make something work. A section of tire sidewall and strong glue to hold it in place?

If no one comes forward, I will.

If these are 68-70, I can see if a spare door has a good one. I’m not familiar with them though. I’m guessing that any that I have are as brittle as you’d expect. Give me a half hour.

Take your time, I’ll give you 35 minutes.

I have two spare LH doors. One has a latch, the bumper in it is crumbling.
I have several A body doors. The 67-72 uses a similar latch and I think the bumper is similar.

It is not perfect but I think that it would work. Maybe check with DMT? Those guys make all sorts of soft parts for these cars.
Just know that It will need adhesive but it does have a locating nub. I would use a dab of weatherstrip adhesive.
PM for any additional info if you wish.

nothing worse than a brittle rubber

I replace the bumpers in my door releases back in 2014. Can't remember for sure but maybe these. May not be exactly correct but they stop the clunking when you release the handle.
