    Door Latch Mod

    After seeing the mod to the door latches, I got mine out and did the same. I used 5/16 x 1/2 carriage bolts and some of the extra IRS shim washers (perfect fit) to fill the gap under the 5/16 flat washer to get a positive clamp on the parts. I machined the dome off the bolts to .06 thick, applied Loctite, and tightened the nuts. I filed the stop lever boss to allow full retraction of the latch bar and lubed them. It took less than 30 minutes for both latches. The forums are great for showing these fixes to eliminate future problems.
