Regarding my door latch, I removed the left side & was able to see what had broken off the right side, so made a suitable tag & welded it on. The result is a working latch so I'm back on the road. I would still like to fit a right side latch with a key lock, so will try to buy one from the US. Likewise I'll try to find a left side with a lock over here so maybe I can swap with someone. Regarding photos, the ones I took are way to big to upload, so I'll have to find a way to reduce them. I'm not overly smart when it comes to that sort of stuff, but will do what I can & post them eventually. Many thanks to all who have offered suggestions & responded to my initial question. Peter.
