Having a potential strategy to make up a small plate to fix the broken
caravan locker mechanism, I now need to source some metal.

The existing components are nice steel and roughly 1.2 mm thick, so that
seems a good starting point.

Doesn't have to be massively structural, it is mainly to spread the load
and provide a backing to bond the broken bits of plastic onto.

Oh, gawd. I need a new box of memory pills!

I have just remembered (!) that the guide plate is eccentric; I am
assuming that this is so the position of the locking rod (which goes
behind the edge of the locker entrance) can be adjusted up and down and in
and out.

This means that the plate(s) - I think I may need one each side - need to
be free to rotate as well so can't be bonded to the repair.

At least I didn't realise this after fixing it!
