sliding door catch spring

[simon]

I take it there should be a spring for the latch in the white block that is attached to camper body, does anybody have the part number for the spring please? What is the correct term for the block that's attached to the van?

How does the spring fit in the block

I know there is a spring between the 2 rusty latches on the right hand side of the pic.

Thanks in advance.
