9323latched.jpg I was sweating these latches, but they came out at least as good as I expected.  The door can be installed without touching the latch, and the latch handle only needs to move ~1/2" to release the door.  But swinging it fully forward (as shown) pushes the door free from its tracks.  The latch pivots on brake pedal shaft bushings and is assembled with a single bolt.  The handle is offset both to hide it under the body, and for a possible future mod to the grille guard.
