Hi, Guys another request if I may. I have received Chris Gould's publication on how to make door catches for the Austin Nippy, only need to make one drivers side mechanism.
In the Instruction, it states to obtain box saloon catches as a doner.
Can someone post a picture of box saloon catch so I know what I'm looking for? Unless of course, someone out there has a proper door catch with or without the chrome cover that I could buy.
I looked on the internet but couldn't find a picture of saloon catches.
Regards RPM

Thanks, David very kind of you to take the trouble for me, now I can see how that could be worked into a sports lock and what I'm looking for. Will put a wanted add hoping someone has one sitting in a box.

On the passenger side, I just have a rectangular piece of wood that pivots on a screw, which is off centre (towards the bottom), that turns upwards and sits under the G shaped piece and prevents it from turning...

Good morning. If you are still looking for a n/s box door catch send me an email to stuart.joseph@btinternet.com, please do not use the forum's pm system. I have one available with a re-chromed internal lever.
