Does anyone reproduce the door latch assemblies for 68-70 B bodies? I see they make new strikers.

Thanks

I'm not aware of it; if you need yours fixed, maybe whoever's doing the hood/trunk latches can help. Not sure who that is nowadays though.

I ordered a set of latches through Al Wilson, at www.N96airgrabber.com

Al personally called me on the phone, to make sure we got the correct latches. I'm shocked that there are so many different ones year to year. Must be why they do not reproduce them. Great guy to deal with though.

Stephan did a fantastic job on the latches I had sent him.

Stephan does an amazing job. My problem was not having any to begin with for my 68. I'll most likely send a bunch of stuff to Stephan, when I redo my '69.

My door latches arrived from www.N96argrabber.com today, and I couldn't be any happier with them. It's the little things like this, that really makes a car.
