Re: 1948 door latch

It took a little longer than I would have ever expected, but the door problem has been resolved. The scheme to drill an access hole through the door skin and into the latch works quite well. After measuring the clearance between the door panel and the rest of the car, especially along the lower edge, I concluded that there might be a higher risk of damage trying to remove the door panel with the door closed than the damage resulting from drilling the access hole.
I have attached a PDF file that describes the first phase of this activity . . . that will be followed-up with files containing more details on the actual repair of a latch.
Thanks for everyone's help.
