I'm planning to go the same route with those latches. Glad to see they worked out for you. Is there a big, noticeable difference in how your doors close now versus the originals?

You can push them with one finger and they close. Admittedly, I don't have the rubber seals in the door jambs yet. I do like that they click closed rather than the bang of the original. These are on sale right now for the kits that don't work with one piece windows, so that is why I went for it. I think they will be well worth it in the end.
The one recommendation I have is to shoot some primer on them immediately as they surface rust quicker than you can get them installed.
