looks good. wish I had done what you did, as the hole that I drilled, is just below the original hole and does not look as good as yours. (looks like a mistake)


also, when I attached the 'release' bar to the latch, and then positioned it to the actuator on the door, it did not follow the horizontal indent in the panel. (went up at an angle)

So I cut an angle in the bar, welded it level, and flipped the actuator up side down. Now the bar sits level, and rests in the indented part of the door.


I looked at your pic, and it appears that your bar was already level with the actuator? Yes?


Hope that makes sense, I will get some pics later.


Nice job on flipping the striker plate, the other hole now looks like it is not a mistake.
