'33/ early '34 door latches
I am gathering up parts for my next project.
I have a few sets of 33/34 door latches. Several of them are passenger side door latches but they have no provision for locking the door. Am I correct in assuming these are for roadsters/phaetons ? They look exactly like the other latches except for the missing lock provision. I know Ford didn't like to waste money. Thanks for any insight. |

The roadster/phaeton latches are completely different than the sedan/coupe latches.Post pic of what you have.

Hi Sheldon,
I will post some photo's tomorrow. Now I am thinking they might be 4-DR sedan rear door latches. (no lock) |

Here is a photo of my stock Victoria latch and the latch in question.
Notice there is no lock. |

Hi; Right hand drive cars had the key locks on the left side. Those parts do show up occasionally. I found that the 33/early 34 forward latches lock in different directions from the inside. I tried to lock a door and it opened! newc
