Call Ronnie at Ronnie's Garage in Lake havasu, AZ. Get the number from the bottom of his page at http://www.type2parts.com. CALL, getting him through email can be spotty when he's busy. He is collecting one of every model of 1960 bus and may have a spare latch since he's collecting parts for them too.
