I finished up installing the new glass run channel and whiskers on the driver door and reassembling said door parts and refurbished vent wing per Randy 500's invaluable instructions. Low and behold now the door won't lock with the key so it's back out with the latch and again with one of Randy's tips I relieved the door lock pawl with my die grinder, first pic, hard to see the relief with all the lithium grease, and discovered the door latch pawl pin was loose to boot. Since there wasn't enough "meat" to re stake the pin, pic 2, I cleaned up the area and welded the pin to the latch body, pic 3. After reassembly the latch works like when it left the factory 51 years ago and the key works the lock effortlessly. Hats off to Randy500 for the posts he helps us with.
