I have had problems with the right door.
The previous owner used piece of wire to connect the handle and the door latch. Go figure???
I looked at drawing and shows a flat bar.
Any one know where I could get one?

Re: Door parts
I am in the process of restoring an old beat-up 140 and finished the work on the doors a few months ago so I know what you are looking for. The “bar” is nothing but a flat strap of 2024-T3 aluminum. I made new ones for my doors because the holes in the ends were alongated. They are very simple and easy to make. I can measure one of the old ones for you if it will help.
