Replacement star wheel door latch mechanism

[Crash520]

Team, does anyone make a replacement star wheel door latch mechanism at all??? I’m chasing one for the drivers door for 70 RR

I have never seen one available separately. You will probably have to search for a latch. I see strikers and striker plates, clips and the like but no individual latch parts. A want ad here for a used latch might be your best bet. https://www.classicindustries.com/shop/all-years/dodge/all-models/parts/?q=door latch

What's wrong with yours ?

This may help Driver Door Latch Modification - Anyone Done This? I ended up buying a driver's door latch off of Ebay from some Canadian (?) place. It was in great shape & lightly oiled when I got it, BUT it was slightly different than my original door latch. It's in my car now working like new. My star wheel was really worn like I'm guessing yours is

I have a couple brand new - but they will need to be modded to use in you model

I’m going to pull mine out of the door tonight, do some comparisons

Yes. I now for a fact these aren't "front '69 Plymouth B-body" but have no idea what they are for. But maybe some bits can be swapped to work.

Gkent, that drivers side mechanism would work for me, is it for sale and would you ship it to Brisbane Australia?

You need to either start a Parts Wanted thread or take it to a Personal message. Buy and sell is not allowed on open forums.

Crash520 ... sent you a PM

Admin ... you guys need to lighten up, this started as a typical "assistance needed" thread. Would it kill you to give some leeway when someone offers up a solution involving hardware - instead of pouncing like a crow on roadkill !!!

Just doing my job here. There is no reasn why members looking for parts can't start a Parts Wanted thread. That's what it's for.

Hey man, we gave Crash some slack. After all, one of us could have deleted his question. You need to abide by the rules set forth by the owner of the site. If you don't like that, then go to YellowBullet.com and play there.....iirc, they don't have any rules! We're getting tired of 'some' of the members telling us what we need to do so buzz off!!!
