Door latch repair

Sand and grit under gas tank

As I mentioned in the earlier post the tank had to come out for cleaning and sealing , some dirt under the tank but surprisingly not rust in the floor or tank.

 Here I'm chronicling the repair of the door latch mechanism, these are not available aftermarket to the best of my knowledge and they were worn to the point that the pins were binding making the door latch mechanism stick.
