Hi everyone, have taken my door off to service it and cant believe how many parts I need! Have sourced some things but need the following please. 1 The catch that is bolted onto the side of the van to latch the door is missing the spring, I either need the spring and new rubbers or a new complete one. 2 The main hinge has some damage, I either need one I can use for bits or a good complete one. I cant believe the silly prices some of these parts fetch. Let me know what you have.
Really its just the spring and the rubbers off the catch, I can get the rubbers new but not the spring. On the hinge, the levers are a little siezed but im hoping I can free them off, the issue with it is the part the spring clips to is snapped. You can get these for £12.50 each and you need two but with the levers being siezed I would consider a second hand one at a reasonable price.
I presume you are looking for this spring on the retainer - see pic below (which incidently shows LHD retainers). In which case this guy in Holland has them. http://have-a-nice-bay.nl/product_info.php?products_id=5699
Thats the one!! Thanks very much, I assume the spring is the same for LHD and RHD, I will contact Holland. Thanks. Matt
I don't suppose the actual hook/catch is available? My spring is still present, but the end of the hook has snapped off
