Door latches, just throwing this out there
Classic Roadster door latches.... Why did they, probably the only ones, build a car with the door latch in the jamb and the pin in the door, and not the other way around? I'm building my car, don't have the doors and body in the shop at the moment and haven't put a lot of thought into it yet, so I'm just throwing this out there to see other thoughts, but has anyone looked into modifying it to reverse it so the latch is in the door, and the pin in the jamb, like every other build out there. Having the latches in the wheel well where dust and debris can be a problem, the hoakey bicycle cable lever (I almost threw them out when going through the parts boxes thinking they got thrown in there when someone was cleaning out the garage), just seems goofy. A nice set of latches from any of the parts dealers is only a few hundred bucks.
Anyone thought about modifying it the door latch system?
