Deck Hatch Latches or other options
 

99 top gun with original deck hatch latches. Any better options out there?
Can they be converted to electric operated?

i had previously seen a thread where someone had cnc cut deck hatch latches and was offering them for sale, but cant find it anymore. anybody know who that was? I wanted to ask if its possible to also make some kind of clip (or maybe a magnet strategically placed) to hold the latch up out of the way when people inevitably slam the hatch down carelessly. I recently had 2 latches break in this way, its getting annoying...

I'll find the thread for you and link it here in a reply. Hang tight.

Thanks Buck!

Buck i saw on that thread that you were directed to 5sonboxes to see if they were still available. Were you able to get them?

I contacted the person who was offering those CNC hatch latches made in billet, but he had a falling out with the machine shop and no longer has them available, unfortunately. I would really like to have a set of these.

PM 5's on box's here on oso, he's the one that owns and runs the machine shop, no more middle man. he also makes beautiful foot rest inserts out of anodized aluminum then cuts the logo in it, it's a nice touch. if you're not in a hurry, he will make them for you.

Cig92, I tried to send you a private message, but your inbox is full. I was looking for the username of the guy that was making those custom parts... I am sure several other members would like some of the same items!!

I did not make an effort to contact him. A friend of mine on here followed through with the contact info and ordered some for the both of us. I haven't been informed as to when they will be manufactured. I'm patient so all is good.

If any one can help. I would like to find or order 4 of those custom made latches.

Could you PM me the contact info? I tried sending a message here on the forum but i get "user not found". Thanks!

Well this looks like the same latch and includes both additional brackets for almost half price... Anybody aware of these and know if they fit?

also found on amazon http://www.amazon.com/Perko-Fastener...NDLE+WITH+STUD

i bought some replacement Perko latches a couple seasons ago & they were exact fit. i think they sell a full kit & then maybe the handle only.

I bought one of the license plates off 88 bullet, turned out great. Who ever machined them did quality work.

I never contacted him personally. Don't have that info.
