My 1971 series 2a original left, drivers side door latch is worn and not working. Looks like there is no replacement available for it. Anyone have any experience repairing the original ? I saw some folks use a series 3 latch, I will not hack my nice original land rover drilling holes for that. Pics attached. Thanks for your help![Click image for larger version

Those latches were used for only a short time as a generally unsuccessful attempt at an anti-burst lock. I've had a few and all have been in poor condition. I've never tried to repair one. After a rollover event when both doors opened we replaced the latches with the much better Series III type of anti-bust locks on all of our trucks.
