door lock parts from r/c car?

[sneekerz at attbi.com]

Greetings esteemed list;

There was a post in the past few months about using some radio control car
parts to replace the worn ball and socket bits on the type44 door locks. I'm at
the point where the parts need to be replaced on my wagon, but can't put my
browser on the specific note that told what parts and sizes were appropriate
(archive searching resulted in lots of other stuff, but not what I needed). If
anyone has that information or the posts, could you please p-mail it to me?

On the brighter side, I can take the door apart, fix the lock, and put the door
back together in very short order, but it's getting old...
