I sold some NOS 41 Woodie latches to Bob Johnson who restores wooden boats and woodies recently at the Portland Swap Meet. His shop is in the Bay Area in CA. Should be in Woodie Times roster. I think he advertises in the Woodie Times also. I can't remember if they were RH lor LH or a set. I am sure the spring in a RH latch would go in a LH latch.
Until you find the right spring or latch, a farmer in the field fix would be to twist the square shaft a little where it enters the latch.
