I have good news and bad news.

The good news is I found one bracket still attached to a replacement door that I have. Bad news is that I only have one. It's the left side. You can use this one as a pattern to build the right side. They're mirror image of each other.

If you don't find a set, the one that I have is available. PM or email me.

Ok, boys and girls. Here are some pictures of the rear door guide brackets.

I misunderstood the post. Here's the rear door latch assembly from a 48-52. 53-36 may be the same (or at least the same principle).

This latch assembly will be even harder to find by itself than the guide brackets. You may have to buy a door just to get the latch assembly.

This latch assembly goes inside the right rear door.








EDIT:

This release latch goes inside the upper right corner of the left rear door.

Yes, thanks! This is what I need/ need pictures of.
I am not sure if the 48-52 are the same as 53-56 either.

Panel 56's pictures would be much more useful to you, my latches are in my doors and I don't plan on taking them out any time soon.

You just saved me taking some pictures unless you need some close ups. These are the same as the ones I took out of my 56. Let me know.

For what it's worth, I just bought a '60 panel and while a few of the latch mechanisms are un attached or inoperable, mine look exactly the same as those parts. Maybe Bill will fill us in if they are the same. Just thought that could possibly broaden your search all the way to '60, if applicable.

Crazy wheel, you better jump on this. You found your needle in a haystack.

Are the corner latches and or rods side specific? Crazy Wheel is much closer to getting on the road than me!!!

Top latches are side specific, bottoms are the same. Unfortunately it's one of the top ones I've misplaced. I never expected that anyone would have had a need for these and that is why one of the rods are missing; I needed it for another project and the rod was the right diameter but the latch has got to be kicking around here somewhere hopefully.

Once Crazy Wheel gets your stuff then hopefully I can produce the missing pieces. For some reason I thought mine had sash chain instead of a Rod
