Hi,
I am brand new to the forum, having just taken delivery of my 1966 Shasta 1500 TODAY!! I am feeling a bit overwhelmed, and don't quite know where to start, but I am SOO appreciative of finding this forum, and everyone's willingness to offer suggestions and help! I am still trying to navigate my way around, so I apologize if this is already posted somewhere.
I am going to attempt to "eat my elephant" one bite at a time, and try to enjoy the restoration process. (I was thinking it's just going to need some "new paint, recover the cushions, cute new curtains, fun accessories", HA! Silly, silly me!)
I am hoping that someone will be kind enough to post a photo of the door handle (inside and out) and the side latch that it attaches too. The original handle on my Shasta was replaced with a hardware screen door door handle, which functions, but it quite unattractive...and we can't have that! I found the outside and inside handles of what I think I need on the Vintage Trailer hardware site, but I don't see the part that catches it on the opposite door frame. Not sure I am making sense with my terminology, but hopefully someone knows what I mean?
Thanks so much for any photos that help me make sure I order all the right parts! Or better yet, if anyone has an extra laying around....I'll take it!
