Jon, much has been written about after market latches so I won't go there....and much has been written about using old latches with some modifications. Someone here, not long ago, posted a tid bit about doing something to improve/fix the old hinges. Wish I had bookmarked that one.

Many will comment here so hang on for a day or two. This is a common problem. Luckily I used some old hinges and mine shut fairly well but in all honesty, not near as good as they should.

I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hub cap than ride in a Ferd.
I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you smile
