Bud is working on reproducing the hole thing. I'm not sure where he is at yet though.

Thanks for the reply Steve.  What's Bud's user name on this forum and I'll PM him directly.  Thanks for the info!

Bump....I’m still looking for one too!

Leo is a bust....ordered one a few years back but never received an invoice and never got the part.  No return calls to voicemails, no responses to emails and the website is down.

BAIV supposedly was making them.  I spoke with the owner last year at War and Peace...still not listed on their website and crickets to emails.

I don’t think Bud ever finished the project, but I can’t get in touch with him either to find out.

Hi Tom,
I know Bud is working on the latch. He is currently wintering in Florida. He recently retired and is busier than ever just like Don. I know Leo is selling on eBay again. That's all I know.

BAIV are now making them to order, I’ve just received some of their other reproduced parts and they are excellent quality.

Crawford, do you know what the cost is? I don't see it posted on their reproduction page.
Thanks,
Mark

I have a complete original door latch assembly that I might be willing to part with. Anyone know what a fair price would be?

Sent BAIV an email.

Leo was selling them for $300.  The last one Gary H.sold went for $450.

I heard back from Ivo at BAIV and they are reproducing the IHC door latches not the M3 ones.

I use a right hand front door latch, for the back door latch for my m3, not correct but works fine. I will buy one when I find one.
