Got back home this evening. Neighbor had received the package of latches for me and I retrieved it. I am IMPRESSED, and can vouch for the quality of these latches. I really look forward to installing these.

I got the street-side lower compartment latches replaced today. I really like the new stainless latches, and I REALLY like the fact that they were MUCH cheaper than others I have found. These latches have holes that are good for 1/8" rivets, but I drilled them out to take 3/16" rivets.... just that much more robust.
