Trying to figure out the door latch assembly on the '46 project. I found remnants of two types of springs in each door, long ago. None were attached to any part. One is a thick wire, bent in a near complete circle about 1.25 in diameter with hook bend on one end. The second is 2.75 inches long. It has a hook bend on one end and "z" like shaped bend with 90 degree bends on the other end. About in the middle there is a about 0.50 inch diameter spring like bend in the same wire. Where do these fit on the latch assembly?
The latch now seems to retract and spring back into place without them.

Photos would be helpful.
