Jason521 Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 So I went to take the Datsun out this morning and when I closed my door it swung back open... after taking off door panel I noticed the spring on the door latch broke so it wont allow my door to stay shut. Am I able to find a new spring or do I need a whole new latch? Nissan couldnt find a spring on their parts page anywhere. Quote Link to comment
DanielC Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 I would think you are looking at a whole latch assembly. This page might help you narrow down your search. http://www.carpartsmanual.com/datsun520/Datsun520521Index.aspx Ace hardware stores have a big selection of springs. You might find one there that will work to replace the broken spring. another option is junkyards, and find a 521 there, or possibly another Datsun model might use the same latch, or a latch very colse to the 521 latch, that has a usable spring.
