This kit is designed to solve the biggest issue with the Nikon F80/N80; broken plastic latches on the film door. The kit includes a metal latch machined out of 1018 mild steel and a 3d printed filing guide to assist in only removing the plastic that is necessary for the repair and streamlining installation. This kit will require the end user to purchase a needle file of 1/4" approximate width or similar and superglue to affix the metal latch to the existing plastic. Adhesive choice is largely up to the end user with a good 2 part plastic safe epoxy being the best choice for long term stability (Clamping would be required). If operating in a wet, humid environment or if corrosion is a fear, I would recommend painting the latch (before installation) or applying a coating of a plastic safe PTFE grease to the latch (after installation).

Payment via Paypal, Venmo or Cashapp.
Price: $32

Shipping is free for USA buyers and $16 for international buyers.

Bump. Tested and will work on a F70/N70 or a F50/N50 with a tiny modification on the metal latch which I can do for you.
