Exterior compartment latches

Post by Razorback »

I ran across this site tonight and found these stainless latches for the outer lower compartments. $7+ for a pair. I ordered 22 of them..... just under $80 for our 34W.....and FREE SHIPPING!!!!......we'll see how it goes....

(This site has many other things you might be able to use.....)

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.
