70 cuda door latch.

Hi all, Does anyone make new door latches for a 70 cuda? Thanks

Not that I'm aware of. Especially the 70 challenger/cuda first year only. What's wrong with yours? Can they be rebuilt?

Possibly. You know how the drivers side is always worn. I have so much to do on the car I just figured if they were available I would replace them. I saw a set of USED ones on E-bay for almost $500 bucks and $25 shipping. LOL. I don't think so!! Thanks for your reply. I just thought someone might re-pop them.

Not sure what would wear out on one of these, besides the striker bolt. In what area do you think yours is worn? I just cleaned the latch from the spare driver door that I'm installing and it seems to work like new now, and I don't see any significant wear on the locking or rotating parts. I used an ultrasonic cleaner but a good long soak in simple green or shorter soak in purple cleaner and going at it with various brushes should get it pretty good.

It may just need a good cleaning, It tends to stick when trying to unlatch the drivers side. I am mocking up all the body panels before starting the bodywork and fitting. I have adjusted the striker in different positions with the door snubbers on. Could be it's just gummy like you say. Thanks!
