Thats something else I have learnt today
The whole catch, there sold in silver or gold push button.Do you actually mean the little white plastic catches that fit inside, or do you mean the same entire 'catches' as a few others have already mentioned?
It's an awful thing, this loss of the capacity to read properly during lockdown...
Looks like they aren't suitable for 3d printing either.
Also looks like I will just have to give in and buy entire catches instead.

I didn't realise you had to draw things, a mate I used to work with told me he had a program/app that let him digitise objects if he was copying something. I never checked or queried this though lol
I'm resigning myself to the fact that it's just going to be easier and less hassle to buy the whole catch mechanisms.
Need about 5 catches in total; 2 have broken white plastic bits as already discussed, 3 others are sticking/getting dodgy.
Just a case of working out which is the best deal from the online offerings.
Many thanks for the feedback folks
I know that, Trev
It was the white plastic 'catch' that fits inside them I was after, not the whole thing (see very first post).
As said, looks like I will have to just have to bite the bullet and buy the whole gadget...
Come on don't give up you can always buy a roll of gaffa tape
Even with the high end scanners the image is hard to work as they pick up every defect. If you are happy with a straight copy they are good. If you want to improve the scan you can end up using it as a skeleton to model over.
A lot of motorhomes were built to a budget and some were built to a quality unfortunately nowadays they are all built on budget so certain items fail but thats life
That’s what he would have had then, he was a bigger geek than I was at that sort of stuff. Had boxes of the stuff you print with (filament?) stored in my office cos he could get it cheap if he bought a load lol
eBay has these. Make sure you get the right size though.So our old Autosleeper, the usual wear and tear problem: a couple of door catches wearing out/breaking with age.
Now it seems to be easy enough to get hold of replacements for the whole mechanism (anywhere from around a fiver+), but as it appears to be only the white plastic catches that deteriorate and break I wondered if these could be bought separately, rather than buying the whole mechanism each time? Lots of good reasons for wanting to do this, not just about saving money.
Anybody had a similar problem or have any idea if it's possible to buy just these white plastic latch parts?
