Yeah but then u have to remove jerry can holder, nah. If I can find black pop rivets I'll try that. Otherwise, they're going back. Well at least one, I'll have eat one.

OMG, definetly a pain. Almost impossible to get these rivets together. Tried enlarging the hole a bit on female half and finally got one rivet in. Proceeded to install another rivet and first one fell apart. Goning to get one piece straps.

Wow, ok, but that sucks. 5 second job gonna turn into an hour. Debating wether or not to return them.

Ok, new question. Just received new jerry can straps from Midwest but they are of a two piece design. It has two raw ends and included are 10 rivets. Am I supposed to rivet these ends to both sides of the can holder?

Any more ideas on my fender welting? Just gonna install them this afternoon.

Could be, but since the latch worked fine then suddenly lost spring action it piece probably just came from the latch. Broken part had a shiney part on it where it engages latch so I assume it"s fresh.

Nah, I'm an optimist, hee.

Bruce, GREAT pix. Explains a lot. I have spring coming from Midwest Military. Probably cost more in shipping than cost of spring, LOL. Thanks again for your help.

Going to debut the freshly painted and marked 53 in the Memorial Day parade in Spring Lake NJ. on Sunday. First time out. Wouldn't you know a door latch spring broke on Friday. Door does stay shut though with handle in locked position. Then again theres always a bungee cord. Sorry, still can't figur...

Thanks my friend, greatly appreciate your help. Saw pics of latch springs on another site. Spring is def broken.

Hey Bruce, it's a little hard to see in your foto but it appears that the piece I found in door might indeed be broken. That's why it's question marked shaped, not totally round like in foto. Hate to ask again but do I have to remove door handle hardware as well when removing latch? How about window...

Ok, great help. I still think that question mark piece I found in bottom of door is a spring of some sort. Gotta pull right door in morning and take a look see. BTW, got 3rd screw loose on interior door handle, just afraid right now to remove whole assm.

Yeah, the latch pops out with the inside handle up in the locked position. So I can debut my freshly painted ride in upcoming Memorial Day parade in Spring Lake, N.J. Got screws loose on latch and 2 out of 3 on inside handle. I can always drill out 3rd one. Hows does escutcheon plate come off? Afrai...

Having problems uploading photo

Hey guys, my drivers door latch just gave out. Door won't stay shut. Seems there is no spring action on the outside latch. Opened access panel and found a question marked shaped piece of metal in bottom. Not sure what it is or where it came from. Can anyone help ?
