Our habitation door latch stopped working correctly on Saturday, after asking where I might source one, Norman Jones pointed me towards his thread in the Hymer section where M J suggested eBay sellers make them to order, after a quick search on you tube for spring making videos I ordered a pack of M3 Starlock washers and popped down to B&Q to pick up a few mtrs of 1mm piano wire.
10 minutes with a pair of needle Nosed pliers and a pencil, using the original spring as a template yeilded this..
Which fitted the catch and seems to work as well as the original did.
After making two spares I now have approx 11.5 mtrs of excess piano wire and 37 spare M3 Starlocks
Hope someone finds this useful in the future ( Stewart J)
