Topic: 1935 Tudor Door Latch Springs

  I am stumped.
The door latch spring is broken (1935 Tudor Drivers Side). What is sold is a yellow spring to replace 35-early 36. It is not correct. When the yellow spring is installed the latch cannot be retracted. I have a yellow Vintique and a NOS yellow spring (both are the same). I have tried a blue spring too.
A picture of my latch is posted in the Parts Wanted section.
I have sought a NOS latch but have not found one.
I am told that there were replacement latches made. The springs may be different for these latches.
Do all passenger doors use the same latch?

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
