The bottom latch on the driver side barn door does not work on my '57 Suburban. The latch mechanism is there, and it is clean, not all rusted. What is missing is the "bar" that goes between the handle and the bottom latch mechanism. This bar has at the handle end a "screw " head and at the bottom end some thread to attach it to the bottom latch. I know this because I have a very rusty one on an old door.
So I need a new "bar": is it available repro? I highly doubt it!
So, what can I use instead? I bet a good used one would be very hard to find...
What have you guys used? What are my options?
Thanks!
