Title: 39 Cadillac door latch spring
Post by: lou-q on May 06, 2013, 10:13:15 PM
Does anyone have a door latch spring for a 6127 coupe or can direct me to a source. It is the one that returns the bolt.
I puchased two on E bay but I have to return them as they wont fit, the spring material is to big to fit in the slot.
Thanks,
Lou Quich

HI Lou, Try hunting in Hemmings Motor News for a 1939/1940 Buick Special/Century parts car. They are the same body. Or, the same bodied Olds or Pontiac. (The GM "B" Bodied cars.)

Failing that, join the CLC and when you get the Directory of members, find someone with the same year car as you, give them a phone call and see if they have a spare.
I have said, over and over, that the Directory is the most valuable tool you will get from your membership. Mine is kept right behind me at hands length so that I can get a phone # or e-mail address right away. Best of luck. Barry  Give me a PM and I will send you a friend's phone # who may have one, as he has a prize winning 39- 6167 convertible coupe.
