[QUOTE="cunning plan, post: 600957, member: 4090"] As my bus is a RHD and some parts seem to be very difficult to find, this being one of them, I was keeping some parts as spares on the garage shelf, however I am now having a clear out. RIGHT Hand Drive Sliding Door Mechanism for the left / nearside sliding door, including the two main castings and U-bolt. You could possibly use it as it is with the addition of a washer and circlip and a good checkover or recondition it into a really nice example as the majority of parts are available from JK, VWH etc. [img]https://s5.postimg.org/7t0boaxsn/Overview_1.jpg[/img] [img]https://s5.postimg.org/nr91eg7g7/Overview_2.jpg[/img] [img]https://s5.postimg.org/73hjby4yv/Detail_1.jpg[/img] The part number on the housing is (the special RHD bit): [b]214 843 339 A[/b] [img]https://s5.postimg.org/w9ihislon/Detail_2.jpg[/img] [b]Issues[/b] [img]https://s5.postimg.org/xok27hrwn/Latch-_I.jpg[/img] The latch mechanisms are very stiff and will need to be loosened and lubricated, preferably with a new spring, although I do not know how the spring is replaced as I have not had to replace it on my existing mechanism yet.
