I just rebuilt the left hand rear door latch assembly on my 58 panel. Does anyone have a drawing or a picture of what the top latch looks like? I ended up fabricating new springs and new blocks for the middle assembly. But I need an idea of what the top latch looks like, mine's gone. If you could send me some dimensions, I'll make some extras if any body else needs them. Thanks.

It's the upper latch that bolts to the door frame that I'm missing. There is a lower latch that bolts to the lower door frame that I have that looks like it's cast iron, but I'm missing the upper latch. The two hooks that are at the top and bottom of the door hook into these latches. If the upper latch is the same as the bottom one, then I could machine one using the bottom one as a pattern. Thanks for your help.
