Put all the latch parts back together and lubricated all moving parts with some silicone grease (Dow Corning 4). Latch movement is good and the handle is in the proper position, although I have not placed it back in the door yet.

While reassembling, one of the slide hold down brackets, a tab broke off when I was bending back into position. So, I will be welding a tab on both sides of the hold down bracket, drilling a hole, tap it and secure it via drilled hole from the back side of the latch. (Just having fun with it since I still have a good latch from the rusted out driver door I removed.) After this, I think I should be able to get another 60 years of use out of it.

btw, I've tried adding pictures to the post, but they did not show up in the thread. Which image url should be added, the page url, or the one shown next to the image in the picture library, or ??
