I removed both door latch... Cleaned them up so I can look at them. I then compared them to each other... They are almost identical to each other except for a couple pieces under a small plate (see photo where the open hole is near the bottom of the latch) these are the pieces that the door lock moves to unlock the door. My thought are to buy a new right side door lock (somewhere around maybe $50). Then put those pieces in the left side door latch.. Make the hole in the driver side door exactly the same as the right side door and get the piece the goes between the Lock and latch. I will need to make a small cut in the door to put the lock retainer clip.. Also need to get the clip.

What's everyone's thought on this.. Am I on the right track. I understand the old time thought about safer to enter and exit the passenger side door.
