Looking for Door Latch '49 f1

My passengers side is frozen amd I haven't been able to free it yet... The arm is bent and I will have to try to brace it... Anyone know where I can find a passenger side door latch mech... If someone has a pair I like to buy them if they don't need them...

I should have the right side door latch, and maybe even the left side. I'm still working on the hood trim parts for you. I found them, but need to clean them up a bit.

However, you might be able to get yours to work. Remove it from the door and soak it in some lubricant, then move it around after a good soaking. You can also pop the tabs on the back of the latch and disassemble it completely. Then you can clean it more thoroughly. I'm currently doing a similar procedure on a left side door latch (with a lock) from a 5 Star Deluxe.

Let me know if you want me to hunt down a pair of latches, or at least the right side.

Thanks 51PanelMan... That's the plan right now, removing it and soaking it to try to fix it... I do know that there is a problem with this one currently since the connecting arm is bent and welded once before... Let me know when you can about the other parts too... Have a great day!
