    I could use a couple of the inserts that go in the latch support hole, so the latch lever don't rattle.
    Not sure if ace hardware would have that. or someone repose them. i would think they are made of nylon, but not sure as i don't have one too see. thanx

    I have them - rubber grommets of the appropriate size. But....you should be able to source locally (for less $ considering cost + shipping) as you mention - Ace Hardware, etc.

    Patton,

    Were you able to find grommets with the reduced hole diameter like the originals were?

    Thanks, Matt

    Mike,

    The originals had a smaller ID. I have one on a NOS latch/bracket, but, time has not been nice to it. I'll post pictures if I can find the part.

    Thanks Matt, do you know what ID is? Mine is a 1971 GS and I wouldn't want Duane to deduct next time I see him! The one I have worked, so I'm happy.
