I'm working on the doors of my 50 3800 today and notice that the passenger side latch is shot. It looks repairable but with new latch prices around $35.00 replacing might be the easier route.
I noticed on Carter's site he sells latches for 52-55 doors. Is there a dramatic difference between the 52-55 latches and the 49-51 latches? Do the newer latches work better? I'm assuming the strike plate is different but those are cheap. Easy swap? Or am I opening a can of worms that will stink-up the garage?
Thanks - Bruce
