Door latch identification help needed p

Post by Jack Putnam, in Ohio » Sun Jun 12, 2022 11:21 pm

I don't know for which T this latch was made . I'm thinking early 20's coupe or maybe center door. Or something other model. Anyone know for sure?

Jack,

These are the pictures I have in my file of a '22 Coupe door latch before rebuilding. I can go to the shop and take pictures of one that is installed BUT I have the interior installed and would prefer not to remove the door panel unless you absolutly need me to.

Thank you Perry. No need to remove upholstery, your pictures are an exact match. I wonder if it was used in vehicles other than the coupe.

The way I read the part book numbers, the same lock (as they call it) is used on the Centerdoor as the Coupe. Since the Coupe opens backwards Left is Right and Right is Left.

Another book lists earlier "locks for the Coupelet. The numbers are the same with different letter suffixes.

When did I do that?

Afternoon, Jack,
I have a '22 Center Door. The door latch (or lock) is identical to your photos.
Best I can tell, mine are original to the car.
Would upload a photo, but, for some reason my iPad is reluctant to allow me to do so.

Best of luck with your rebuild.

I did find this latch (left) with a straight laver. I guess it would be earlier but don't know what year. It is much the same otherwise.
