    :confused:trying to figure out what I need for inner door latch controls. All I have is the inner handles. cant find a good parts drawing for inner latch to see what parts I need and how to put it together. Any help would be great!

    Model A coupe inner door release is very simple the inner handle just attaches to a long round rod that goes to the door latch. As you lift the handle up it rotates / turns the rod that effectively pushes on the catch and releases the door.

    Sorry haven't got a picture handy but CW Moss, and MAC's sell them repro. Macs have an online catalog so you should be able to find a picture of the latch pretty easy.

    Edit

    Here is a link to the part at mac's

    Bit hard to tell from the picture but the actual part of the latch that catches on the striker has a tab on the inside - that is the bit you can see at the back of the latch on the left hand side of the picture. When you lift the handle it rotates the rod that goes to the latch and pushes on the back of the latch

    I found the rods in box of parts that came with car, but I dont see how they hook into latch, I may need to find more pieces. I wish I could find a picture of how it goes together

    I looked at the picture at macs and I see the clips that hold rods to the door but not sure what the little round springs are for.
