Compartment latches

[jeff]

So after replacing these on all my compartments, just one pro tip to mention. Be sure to use a soft tool to gently bang on the walls of the underbelly around the compartments with them open and be ready to step back. Mud dobbers, wasps, etc find these areas as a home here in Texas, not sure elsewhere...thought it would be worth mentioning.

put me down for quantity 20

Still need more for the group buy? I would be interested.

I ordered a bunch of them this morning. I'll post back to this thread when they arrive.

Just counted the latches on my 30R and there’s 20. So far it looks like Salty, Lifeincolor, myself, and of course Jason are interested. Jason—how many did you happen to buy? Between the 4 of us I’m guessing that’s 80 latches total. I could do a second order if needed.

If anyone wants to know for reference, the 1987 34W has 24 of them..... 22 on the compartments, 2 on the step cover.

I guessed 80 too, I hope that ends up being enough.

The latches came in and look good. I got one set installed tonight. I'll send PM's to the people who wanted latches.

Here is one installed

And here is the rest of the order

Did you use Olympic Rivets and the special shave tool from VTS?
