Hi everyone
Trying to find or make door latches for a wagabond... I really like the pacer style pushbutton/handle (exterior/interior) latches. Cant seem to find any! Being experimental, I could possibly fabricate some if i had ample pictures of the mechanism.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks Gilbert! That helps.
I had a chance to look at a Pacer restoration project today (local EAA chapter, jackson MI), including the door latches... minus the exterior "button" and associated pins/springs/etc (out for chrome). Any detail on the mechanism(s) under the button/inside the "can" of the latch would be great. Hard to discern the exact configuration from the drawings.

I think that I have one or two in my hanger. PM me if you are interested.
