Hello All
I am reassembling a convertible, complete frame off, and with the parts from multiple cars, we may have mixed in 4dr and 2dr parts...
If anyone has any resto pics that could help me I would really appreciate it...If anyone has a diagram or drawings of the correct position of the latch area parts, and the right angle handle support bracket that becomes invisible inside the door it would help a ton...

Also on the exterior door handle chrome estcheons that mount first to the door with 2 philips screws into a plate ( the door handle then goes thru both) there is a third small hole thats covered when the door handle is in normal closed position...
Empty on our parts car, can anyone tell me what goes there....Just a smaller screw?
thanks kindly

Yes, a smaller phillips screw goes in there.

These might not help, but here are a few pics...
