    1928 essex super six,, the door latch is not popping back out, thus making it sketchy when driving suicide doors :(
    what is the procedure for repairing / removing door latch?
    i have the liner and inside handles out but my rubber arm can't quite feel how it comes apart

  • Jump onto the website hudson terraplane.com and select motor manuals 
    You'll find all years there 
  • the springs i ordered i thought would work... did not
    so i bought a brazing torch kit at hardware store and did some alterations, now works like a dream
  • picked up a '27 and is now in storage

  • here is the '28
